I have a 73 1.7 in excellent condition.
The only things that are not original are a luggage rack and the 1.7 was replaced with a stock, field injected 2.0. The 2.0 runs great, but I have the original, numbers-matching 1.7 and was wondering, if this were yours what would you do? 1. Leave it as-is, with the 2.0 installed and just stick the 1.7 in the basement 2. Rebuild the 1.7 as a stock 1.7 3. Rebuild the 1.7 with a larger bore, and if so what size 4. Rebuild the 1.7 with a 2.0 crank and rods as a stock 2.0 5. Rebuild the 1.7 with a 2.0 crank and rods as a 2056 Budget is not large, but reasonable. I guess the big question is how much value is there is keeping the numbers matching? I could not verify the transmission number, but it's in the correct range. I do plan to stick with fuel injection. Thank you for your pearls of wisdom! |
