What is the cheapest combination to get a 1911 out of a 1.7 stock everything?

Here is what i have in mind..

94mm pistons and cylinders.. I've heard 94mm is barely adequate so 96 might be a stretch...

stock cam

1.7 heads bored out to the OD register of a 1.8/2.0

Stock crank

stock rods

dual empi 34 carbs

Any other combination that is cheaper and more efficient?

When I got my 914, it came with a 1.7 and dual Webber 44's. I drove it for a while and then I had a piston go bad, so I did the short stroke 1911 built. Larger pistons stock stroke, stock cam machined 1.7 heads. It was better, little more grunt and torque than the origin old 1.7 motor...

I then had a rod bearing go bad due to an oil flow blockage... since we now had to split the case I ordered a custom cam, and added a conically shaped oil pressure release valve and the tuna can...

The difference between the short stroke 1911 motor with a cam and doing it without the cam is a BIG difference. The difference between the motor now and the stock 1.7 is night and day...not even close to the same car.

I think when I broke down the math I could have just spent $600 more during the first build, and gotten to my current set up much faster.

I always tell people, there are few things that years down the road, everytime you drive it, you will still say "worth every penny", the cam is one of those things...
