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?

You can use stock D-Jet or L-jet injection with a 1911. BUT you have to keep the stock cam.

To wake up a 1911 you need a better cam and that means either modern EFI or carbs. Your 34s may be enough with jetting changes, but you would be better off with dual 40s (Weber or Dellortos).

Years ago, Jake put together a build list for a $3000 1911/2056. About 1/2 of his cost was in the heads. These days, with used heads being an issue, I think you would have a hard time getting heads prepped for only $1500.
