What to do to a 2056 with 2.0 DJet, Help get this motor worked out. Options

[Teknon]

Ok Motorheads,

Senerio:
New 2056, Slightly more aggressive than stock Isky VP-228 cam, ported 5pt heads with '74 2.0 D-Jetronics. Crane xr700 009 dizzy. Burch exhaust through SSI HX'ers

Question:
What would be some tricks and tips to make this engine more efficient. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif)

I thought of having the MPS adjusted for a 2056, read that somewhere. Would like to put an oil cooler in most likely.

What else would be things to concider. The engine is in boxes ready to assemble.

Please chime in

Lets start here.

Go with a Jake cam. PERIOD.
Reason: You will absolutely know you have a cam AND A MATCHING SET OF LIFTERS THAT WON'T GO FLAT. This is also a proven cam/lifter combo for the factory FI.

Balance the entire reciprocating assembly.

Get your heads checked and machined by a Type IV pro.

Get your block, cylinders, pistons, pins, rings (end gap), machined and checked out by a Type IV pro.

Use Jakes double thrust cam bearing.

You probably wont need and oil cooler. But it never hurts to add one.

I could go on forever.....

OR: Buy a Jake kit and be done with it.

Whats your budget????
