hi, as i stated in another post , i think my 1.7l is going to nees a rebuilt.
my question is , instead of putting money on my 1.7 , should i try to find a 2.0l instead ? is it as easy to take my 1.7 off and putting the 2.0l in or do i need modifications ? and what is the difference in long and short block , is there one that i would need more ? tanks |

it will bolt right in
you may need to upgrade the accesory parts.. (depending on tailshift/sideshift) you may end up needing different motor mounts, exhaust, fuel injection but it will bolt right in find a 2.0 that is complete with everything the small parts are out there, but it is a pain to search down every little piece of exhaust, or little piece of fuel injection, etc. buy a complete running motor and just bolt it in brant |

Is your 1.7 running the original FI or carbs?? If FI and thats in good order rebuild the 1.7 to a slightly higher spec but still using the FI as it's a reliable and dependable system.
If you have carbs, build a nifty 2.0 or even bigger - if you do go 2.0 you'll probably need a new exhaust too, as the 1.7 HE's and system are restrictive on a 2.0 or bigger.. |

I have a friend in Plattsburgh NY who has a complete 2.0 with FI and SS heat exchagers 1500$, you basically just need to change the fuel hoses and some seals and it will be ready to go. Send me a PM and I'll forward you the info.
Are you in Montreal? |
