I jus acquired a fuel injected 1.7 ltr. engine,and i'm gonna have the case machined for 96 mm pistons & have some head work done.Is there anything i need to do to convert from F.I. to caburation,or can you jus make the swap? would it better to stick with the F.I. or make the conversion? confused24.gif

The case doesnt need machined for the 96's. You'll need to machine the heads for the 96mm barrels however (only the 1.7 heads need this type of machine work) The 1.8 and 2.0 heads will accept the 96's with no machine work.

What is your intended use of the car ? 99% track or 50/50 street/track ?

you mentioned in another post about racing your car in some race?

read the rule book first if you plan on using your car in any organized event.....carbs might not be allowed....

also do a search on this subject since it gets asked way too many times smile.gif

Yes. You can use 1.8 and 2.0 heads on any case.

Rules,rules,rules... get a copy before you spend ANY money on the car.
