go with a carbed 2056.
You will be happy and a stroked motor adds all kinds of new variables that should be saved for someone that has built an engine a couple of times.

The 2056 will go together EXACTLY like a stock motor with almost zero differences.

Pick a webcam like the 86a or 86b and use dual 40 IDF webers.

Appreciate the advice, but I have someone who has expirirence building engines helping me with the actual build. So I don't mind going bigger. I liked the ide of the 2270

I'm in Ventura County!
Thanks for all the resources and info. I've been to a few of those sites but I'll dig deeper .
I'm looking forward to speaking with some of these guys to help me better understand the needs of this platform

I'd consider the mega squirt system and buying a 2.0 longblock. Might be a little more $$ than I'd like to spend [i]but you're right about keeping it #'s matching

Thanks for the info tom!


What is your budget? Some of these options are more like $$$$ than just $$.

So ideally I'd like to be at around 5K with assembling it myself. I've seen stroker kits for 2k but that's obviously not including any machine work, cam/lifters etc...

if I wanted FI could I get that power? And I'm guessing I couldn't use carbbed cams


Yes. Talk to McMark. You can go with an ITB setup. There's a thread on here with conedodgers old engine with ITBs and FI.

Wait, you said you wanted to get 150 HP and you are going to then hand this car off to a sixteen year old boy?

That sounds like trouble.

I agree with rich and larmo. Turn the 1.7 into a 1911 with a simple piston and cylinder change. Look for an nos set of NPR 94mm. He'll have his hands full. Plenty of torque, and lots a fun.

Just tune up the 1.7...
I did not read this was going to a kid until larmo said it.

You could probably drop 2-3k into that car just to make it right, brakes, tires, suspension, tune up, fuel lines....

It's not going to be his car at 16, it'll be a graduation gift. I would just like to finish it sooner .
I do realize the problem with a younger guy having a car like this, but like you said if I build a new engine and keep the original then I can give it back to him with the original in it and maybe just keep the engine I build

It doesn't matter how much horsepower you have....you'll always want more. So why chase your tail? Build a nice streetable engine, keep the FI, pay careful attention to bringing brakes and suspension back to new condition. If you get to 120 hp you'll have massive amounts of fun. Focus on torque and learn to use momentum. Enjoy!

Well, you have lots of sites to research.

I would buy new

Heads
Pistons
Cylinders
Rings
Gasket set
Bearings
Camshaft, lifters, camgear

Machine
Case
Oil pump (blueprint OEM pump)

Ultrasonic clean
Case (after machining)
Oil cooler
