My 72 barn find ( http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=275587&hl= ) is now starting to get a lot of work done so I can hopefully make it to lots of rallies next year. The car Has 50K original miles on a 1.7 that had some work on it previously making it a 1911 with Dlortos on it.
The engine is now torn down for rebuild with a little more power. I would like it to look as stock as possible but would like it to be a sleeper. I am considering 2.0 LTR FI and having everything else built. I am looking for suggestions on what you would do to the engine and why. Thanks for the help Attached thumbnail(s)   Attached image(s)

I guess I maybe don't know the full meaning of the term, but when I think concourse car, I think of an original car, built to original specifications. Not something that's been cut up for flares with a swapped or modified engine. But again, I'll be the first to admit I sometimes don't know what I'm talking about.
For what it's worth, I've heard the 1911's are pretty dang peppy. That's what mine is, hope to have it driving next Spring. If you build the 1911 you'll probably keep the 1.7 heads/tins/specific bits and make it look the closest to it's original 1.7 setup. |

I was flip flopping back and forth on doing a concourse restoration -vs- a GT clone over time. |
