ok, figured I would come here to ask this question...I would like to compile a list of pros/cons of putting a '76 2.0 engine in a (mostly original) '74 1.8...
besides more power, what am I gaining? I am torn between the increase in power, vs keeping the originality of the car (not that it will ever a concours competitor) If I ever had to sell it, would it be worth more with the original 1.8, or the 2.0? -JON (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

If you were asking me I would say "Take the 2.0 crank, rods, and P/C's (or 96's) and use those to rebuild the 1.8. Get the FI cam from 'Jake', use your heads and tin. You will have the stock #, a stock looking engine and more power. IMHO (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
