Greetings all,
I have a 1975 2.0L motor that I'm rebuilding for my 74. The engine code is a GC. I am wanting to bump the motor to a 2056 (96x71) and have been researching cylinder and pistons kits. These kits range anywhere from $3200 to $350. My goal is to create a dependable solid running 914, not a race car or some hopped up timebomb that melts down in 10,000 miles. The engine will be fit with duel Weber 40 IDF's. Yes, I will be changing the camshaft to account for the Webers. So,....what recommendations should I consider for the purchase of these cylinders/pistons? Nickie$ (stupid money) Cast / forged Hypereutectic Biral liner Stroker JE Forged Looking for your recommendations to help me determine the best value for this build. Thanks in advance, JWB |

I bought a set from AA with the biral liner for better cooling. I also went with the JE forged pistons because I thought about turbo charging the engine down the road. For now, I've decided to keep it naturally aspirated.
I've also got a AA flywheel and 2.0 heads. No problems with any of them, and I drive the car hard. Great quality, especially for the price. |
