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  |

Appreciate the responses. The OEM cylinders are in decent shape and I'm going to explore having them bored out and weigh the cost between boring and new. Do I run the risk of warping/cracking or other concerns by taking that much material off to get to 96mm?
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Here's the body after 15 months of rehab.  |
