I am looking to drop my stock 73 2.0l and rebuilding it stronger while maintaining day to day driving reliability before putting it back in. Im not interested in blowing the engine by pushing it to its max but Id like to see it reach 115/120 HP without entering the world of the insane. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Your stated desire to make more power comes at the sacrifice of engine strength. The original stock 1971cc engine was designed with redundancies (safety factors) to handle stresses. Higher displacement, higher compression reduces those safety factors, makes more heat, and may make more HP but the engines components need to become thinner and are higher stressed to accomplish that. So the stock engine becomes inherently weaker to achieve more power. How much so depends on how extreme the mods become. One of several good reasons to leave it stock. You will be wise to avoid the slippery slope. But maybe wise is no fun for some?
