I am about to pick up a 1.7 enigne minus intake. Owner says it ran, but has'nt run in a long itme since he took it out.
I have a 75 1.8 which runs fine, so there is no rush to rebuild. My thought is I would like to rebuild this engine making more power (115-125 hp) and evenutually put it in car. I am looking for more power but I still want driveability and durability. I also am going to be doing this myself and am looking to not spend too much money, I only paid $5000 for the car and am paying $50 for the engine. Any thoughts? I hear Jack Raby's stuff is great but it does seem pricey (no offense, just a $5,000 engine in a $5,000 car doesnt seem worthwhile. thanks, Matt |
