My '75 1.8 has the stock, non-SS heat exchangers with a Bursche exhaust. The motor has 55,000 miles on it and runs strong. I've gleened from other posts that SS HE's flow better and help the engine produce more power.
I'm wondering what one could expect, in terms of increased hp/torque from replacing my exhaust with SS HE's. At some point I'd like to rebuild a 2.0 for a little boost in HP, so they could be transferred to that motor. I'm guessing I'd also need a different exhaust and all the plumbing from the HE to the car. |

Will 2.0 SS HEs work on a 2056 with carbs and a non-stock cam? I want to keep my eyes open for good deals on parts I would need over then next 2-3 years.

Yes they should still work, unless you have some radical port-work done to the exhaust to require a different flange. You'll learn to love the SSI's. I've had them for over 2 years now. It was quite an amazing difference over the stock 1.8/late 2.0 style. Those suckers work so well when you have all the equipment, they'll burn you out of the cab. My feet feel like they're on fire with sandals on. And with a bursch or triad muffler, you'll see more like a 5% gain over those 1.8/late 2.0 HEs. |
