1973 1.7.
I think I want to keep a 4.. because of weight, etc, and honestly everyone is doing sixes, so thinking about building or buying a bad ass 4.... Whos running high HP 2.0 to 2.2? What carb and or exhaust set up are you running. What are the potential differences in a 2.0 and 2.2 (baring size) What am I going to run into droping in a "new" 4, (what else will I need to change?) Any threads on upgrading a 4? I see tons on upgrading to a 6. And who's crating and selling them? (if anyone) Any help is greatly appreciated. Dave |

Stage I - dump the progressive Weber and get either D-Jet or a pair of 40 IDFs. Stage II - build your 1.7 into a 1911 with a set of 96mm pistons/cylinders. Stage III - Find a 2.0 and refresh it, or build it into a 2056 Stage IV - Build a 2270 with aftermarket FI or a pair of 44 IDFs. Stage V - Trade $$ for HP direct from Jake. I'm on the slow train direct to Stage IV... building a 2058 as I can acquire parts. Mine will be a 2058 because the crank that I got is a 78mm rather than the more common 78.4 mm stroker. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) The reason I ask, is I had someone mention they thought the 1.8 P/Cs on a 1.7 block took the motor out to a 1911. I had assumed I only had a 1.8. |
