1974 1.8L to 2056 engine build, Start to Finish (this may take a while!) Options

[Rick L]

And...we're off!

The goal: Build a 2056 from a 1.8L jet. We'll use the 1.8 Case and Heads, new 96mm P&C's, Raby Cam & Valvetrain kit, and, for the moment, put an Ljet or Djet back on it. Eventually it'll get dual carbs, but I can't drop the extra G just yet.

I'll include as manay pics as I can. I got a little ahead of the camera with this so the engine is already out of the car, the tranny and exhaust are off and these pics show the rats nest (Ljet, harness, vacuum), throttle body, intake runners and right side tin coming off.

Had to use the cell phone cam for these, future pics will be better.

did you go with the 9550 cam? remember NOT to run more than 8.3:1 if you'll be running o.e. injection. thats why you'll limit yourself in h.p. if you dont keep comp. down and run the f.i. you'll probably burn a piston. ask many of the members here.

good luck with the build, and definately have a plan on what carburation your engine will run on the finished project. just be careful not to damage all that expense and effort before the carb install
