Found a rebuilt 2.0. Engine code is a GA so if my research proves accurate this is actually a 74’ engine. Confirmed 3 bolt pattern on the intake heads. Stoked!! I’m curious if this will drop right into my 73’ that’s currently a 1.7 and what I might be in for with this? Headers and heat exchangers? Just a note: per the owner that rebuilt the engine it hasn’t been run since the rebuild so needless to say I need to learn more about what all needs to happen prior to dropping this in and firing it up. Considering taking it to Mayo Performance in Dallas to handle the swap but I’m also a fast learner and eager to do it myself.
Thanks!! |

Hey while it’s to this point check the oil cooler seals and oil cooler. Much easier now than later. Other than that you should be able to figure it out. Not that hard, but will require patience.
On another note, looks like 44s ? They will work, but a re a little big for stock 2.0. May have some jetting to do. Is the cam stock?. I would suspect that it may have been changed out if built specifically for carbs. If not run it and look for a deal on a stock injection system. They pop up from time to time. They really run well and if the cam hasn’t been swapped it’s pretty straight forward. Best wishes and please post lots of pics (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
