At some point, my motor (1974 2.0L) will need a rebuild. I'm not going to go the /6 conversion on this car. If I rebuild the motor to a 2056 or 2270 displacement, can I still use the FI system (D-jet)? Or is there some spot in here where it is better to switch to carbs? Or if I wanted to have FI then switching to L-Jet instead?
Happy to do some reading if you have it... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chowtime.gif) |

The 2056 with Djet is the best of both worlds as that's why most go with it. It can be in the 110 to 125hp range with the right combo of cam and heads. Its easy to build and runs cool.
The bigger 2270 means more work on everything to get it to run right and cool. Anywhere from 150-175hp... My question to you is how big do you think you need to go as 125hp is alot in these little cars. Especially if you haven't addressed the suspension, brakes, rust etc..... |
