Hi all
Im restoring a US 1976 2.0 with a 1973 2.0 engine (not sure how that happened but hey). Im in the UK and these are as rare as hens teeth. Ive decided to retrofit a standard FI system (currently gathering the relevant bits). My engine builder has suggested a Web cam - WEB #73 262/262 duration 0.426 lift which I believe is correct. Any ideas on what pistons I should use? The 73 engine has bus pistons which are in good shape but if Im going to the expense of rebuilding then I feel I should put something better back in. Im not looking to build a hot rod just a nice reliable fun motor. My engine chap is suggesting Keith and Black pistons (96mm). Would that work or are there better options? thanks Andrew |

Here's the guys to talk to if you want the better options.
