1st it was asked what your goal criteria is, expense before performance or vicea versa?
Not everyone has the skill resources or time to tear down & rebuild their bottom end. You can evaluate the condition of the cam & crank w/o splitting the case. As others have mentioned heads are where you are going to spend some money, best bang for buck is replace with 2.0L heads. Together with a set of slip in 96mm P/C & exhaust you will be VERY happy. |

Use the 1.7 as a coffee table and drop in a 3.2 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Tangerine exhaust is $$ and worth every dime. Lighten the flywheel to 10lbs and use a light pressure plate and you will love it.......on a comparative basis. Then the slope gets slippery...ask my wife.

QUOTE(Vacca Rabite @ May 31 2018, 10:15 AM)  Is this for the turbo car? If so, keep the displacement small. My advise to keep it on a budget is to keep it to a 1911 using stock fuel injection. You can keep using cast iron cylinders that way, and either bore out your existing ones or buy new ones. I agree with using EMW for parts. Don't split the case unless you have to. Any near stock rebuild, most of the cost is going into the heads. I've not driven a 1911, but I have driven my 2056 and other 2056s and from stock its a nice performance jump. The 1911s are suppsoed to make about the same power but rev a little faster and may be a bit more peaky. Zach Hi Zach-thanks for all the help and ideas. This is actually a spare engine and I'm not sure what exactly I'm going to do with it yet. I think, to Marks point, I may end up putting the 3.2 L in the turbo car. It appears that this turbo car has a 1.8 L in it. |

For a rather small investment, you can rebuild the 1.7, drive it for a while, dyno it, and once you swap in the 3.2, you can sell the 1.7 to recoup cost. Lots of people want a simple 1911 or 2056 recent rebuild for $900 longblock - $1800 fulldress with tins/carbs, just to keep their car driving. It's also a good way to put a $2500-$4k roller back on the road, a low cost entry into a collector car. |

If the 3.2l goes into the turbo car I just bought (details to follow) then this approach about be used to make my very clean '74 roller a driver. |
