hiya Im still working on my 1973 2.0, collecting suspension bits, wheels. the car is in line to get its longs and hell holes repaired.
QUESTION: I tore down a spare 2.0 engine and sent it to a known (known on this site even) 914 repair establishment. I sent them the bare case/crank/rods and heads, in good nick. the shop has quoted me 7k for a complete 2270 engine build including: stock crank welded and ground, cast pistons, web cam, complete stock head rebuild (with no port work whatsoever). He went on to say '2270' motors don't need port work on their heads??

My stated goal is street/autox 150hp (I have 44 webers and will probably use the tangerine exhaust). I felt like that was kind of a lot of money for a 2270 with stock heads, cast pistons, stock crank.
what do you guys think?

It costs 5k for a 2056

You are adding in the machine work required to weld, grind and balance the crankshaft.
You are adding in new rods

Its a very good number.
Price wise, its spot on.

As far as the rest of the configuration, I may not agree.

Rich

'Don't need', and 'would benefit' are two phrases that apply and have entirely different meanings.

Oh, and the important number in this engine combo is torque, not HP...

Dollar amount is at the low end.

ok sounds good. yes he seems legit. I do think that I would like the headwork done and some forgy parts like je pistons and a scat crank

I build a 2056 with stock crank and cam and cost are just under 5k.
7k for a stroker sounds very reasonable. I hope
I can do my own that cheap.

I totally get it

You should just buy Rob's motor. Better and will get you on the road quicker.

Also, if you want bigger heads, I have an awesome set for sale, never been run, ready to go. Ported to match the intakes I have.

Don't get JE's for the street with cast iron cylinders, use the KB's.
I'd pick the china forged crank over the Scat...which BTW is also forged in China.

You leave a a bit on the table but 150hp is do-able on a stroker engine with stock port heads. I'd make sure it has at least bugpack dual springs, retainers, keepers 1.7rockers, and porsche adjusters with a performance cam.

Price is about right if you're not counting carbs, exhaust and ignition (or install).

Add up all the other bits you need and then think about this:

Turn the key and go.

OHHHHHHHH SSSSSSSSHHHHHIIIIZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. ok Im interested. this motor is still avail? its been avail since a year ago?

is rob with the 2432 raby motor?

ha. so you are still selling the monster raby motor? its still fresh/

It's still fresh. Car is a trailer queen. Only four of these in existence. So besides the Raby pedigree, it has rarity going for it. Sucker just snapped a CV joint off! Ya... It's got some torque

hey call me? 51o-205-9539

building a BIG displacement engine can be daunting for a first time adventure. price out the correct heads, spark source, and exhaust to maximize power output. the fancy aluminum cyls you'd want to use is . you're gonna spend the money and leaving hp/torque on the table is a waste. total those up and you'll see the security of a known and operational build like rob's. iirc the 71mm crank will require 103mm cyls. somewhat frowned upon.

For a 2270 I would recommend increasing valve size to 44 x 36 and doing some mild port work to match.

Just as long as it's not one of the super-cheapie places like Import Motor.
