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 was at the same cross road as you were this time last year .
I got a plug and play big/4 engine (seller says it was a 12k build) from a member here for 5k And it worked out great . Much happier then a rebuild . And 3x as fast/powerful . Had the 1.7 rebuilt while outta the car and considering going back to stock . Id let the big /4 go for 5500$(complete package ,plug and play) and if you want to come see it run and ride in the car before buying , that would not be a problem. Since im in monrovia let me know . Got the engine and had my fun with it , i think its got about 5k miles on it . And if you are going to have yours rebuilt , make sure a warranty is provided ,because it takes major skill to just build a stock 1600 . Let alone a type 4 . So dont go with a beginner engine builder on this one ! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) |
