blank page engine rebuild, what would you do? Options

[Type 47]

My 75' 62k mile 914 is ready to redo...the original 2.0 is going to get the FI put back on, then taken out of the car and put in storage.

I have a 73' 2.0 that I want to build and put in the re-done car: What would you do with the engine build? I'm taking off Webers from the original car...that's a starting point.

I would start by posting 2 identical threads and see which way each of them goes. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)

Damn, that's some funny shit.

I'll just install a Suby and keep quiet when it's my turn (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/WTF.gif)

OK that's a start...I guess there are just two options?

Conversions are not an option...too much (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) chop, cut, and rebuild. We are talking about options for the 2.0.

Grab the HAM heads dada is selling.
Send the case & heads to len hoffman for decking & any refresh,, he will do it right.
Plug the oil galleys too.
Bore your oem cylinders to 96mm.
Get Jakes cam & a set of pistons, KBs ok for street, JEs for track.
Get the rotating assembly balanced.
Set deck height to get 10: 1 CR.
Put on a high volume full flow oil filter & cooler.
Get Chris' s headers (tangerine).
Fill with Brad Penn oil.
Start it up & just try to wipe that huge grin off your face!!
Priceless!

I'd just send it to Greg at FAT performance. I basically sent him a junk core (almost all of it turn out to be garbage) and he sourced everything for the build. After maybe a half dozen phone calls and a ~2 month wait I had a nice broken in 2258 with dyno sheet back in my garage waiting to go into the car. If I had to do this over again, the only thing I would change would be to start by sending FAT a running core with known solid rebuildable parts.

Sounds like a good time frame while i'm disassembling & painting.

What were the dyno #'s? What's a ball park on cost? is that a carb or FI setup? does it use an MSD ignition?

Thanks

This sound like a good setup too...same question as above...HP, torque, carb/FI, cost?

Dyno showed 153hp and 175ft. lbs of torque @ 4500RPM, 44mm carbs, no MSD.
Id guess ~$8k total cost with shipping, sourcing parts, etc... You could probably get it done cheaper. I had a lot of extra costs here because of the issues with my core.

Wow, those #'s are incredible
