CA engines had lower compression and thus less HP: 69 vs 76 respectively. Since I own a CA car, but live in SC, can I make any "free" modifications to increase HP?

At what cost though to get back 7hp? I think you have to replace pistons to remove the CA specs from the engine but I'm not sure.
Find a 2L core engine and rebuild it over time to 2056 specs. You'll have 110-120 hp if you spend money on head work and a nice cam. Or, find a known good running complete 2L engine from someone who is doing a 6 conversion and drop it in. That would be the best bang for the buck. |
