My car has a 1.7 single carb but I have access to a 1.8 fi motor. Should I do a swap when the motor and tranny are out for a clutch replacement??

If you raise the compression, the 1.8 engine is better than the 1.7. The 1.8 uses bigger valves. The problem with it is that the manufacture dropped the compression ratio to lower emissions, so we get a lower HP output. With the tweaking that I did on Betty's car, we get about 90 HP out of a 1.8 with the injection. But it doesn't have the torque of the 2.0. Wish I could talk her into a built 2.0 for her car.
