We got a 1973 GA series 2-liter motor that had low miles but sat for a long time. The pistons and cylinders are gone, crank probably just needs ground, case is good, the 039-101-371A cylinder heads look great EXCEPT for one of the chambers. It is badly pitted from corrorsion.

Can it be used as is? Is there anyway to repair it without costing a small fortune? As one can see there are no usual cracks showing.

We want to rebuild the motor and replace the 1.7L in our 1972. I have the 2-liter injection system and want to keep it mostly stock. We will have to replace the pistons and cylinders. Any recommendations on which ones to buy? I would like to end up with about 100+ HP.

Thanks
