Well, car is running like crap and compression is 98-110. Buddy mechanic says there isn't enough there to work with. So need to explore options. Was looking for a 6 awhile ago but that's just too expensive.
I have a 1971 1.7 block (car is 1970), may have bigger cylinders in it but don't know. What are the options if on a slightly restricted budget? I want big and more power but I know there's a tipping point on that. I see new engines advertised here and there. SCAT 2056. Contemplating, do I buy a new engine like this? (any others out there?) or rebuild what I have using a SCAT engine kit or piecing it together using various kits. How big can I easily (budget) go? Currently don't know what I have so assumming a new cam, new crank, etc. I plan on using the existing dual Weber 40IDFs and the MSDS headers/muffler. Here's a pic so there's something visual here.

I started with a '70 1.7 and built a short stroke 1911 motor with 96mm pistons/jugs, cam and Weber 44s. I love it, its fast revving little motor and so far has been tough too. I've flogged that poor thing at Streets in the summer and that thing just kept going.
If you keep the 1.7 heads you will need some machining, if you are in SoCal there are shops that build these motors really well for Baja, so they know reliability and power. I'd say, with custom ordering a cam, the machining, and getting Keith Black Hypereutectic pistons plus the ancillary stuff it was around $2300... I had the carbs before as they came with the car when I got it... |
