Hey I got an early 1.7L W case low serial # from my 70 teener. set up for FI, Domed pistons, port matched heads, Lapped valves, no oil leaks. Made 32 MPG comming from Everrett last year. That was running 75 80 MPH car was loaded down with tons of crap. Motor push me and Rob Watson to 105 one hot summer day last year. Probably could have gotten more out but ran into traffic.
Ran it in 3 Autocrosses and changed it out for the 2.0L fire breather. Long block and tin computer intake throttle body distributor fuel pump pressure regulator No injectors or MPS. Kentucky ain't far about 9 hrs. Come get it for 350.00 |
