Still debating to build a 2.0 or 2.4 or 2.7 or say fuch it sell it all and get a 3.0 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
To me the bottom line $$$ looks almost the same. For a 3.0: What would I need to keep for the clutch and PP (9bolt fly) that works on a 901? What would I need to buy from KEP? Should I be grabbing anything else from the donor engine ? I'm looking a a few engines, #1 a 3.2 that's a bit beyond my budget, #2 an unknown 3.0 longblock core, spins fine, I suspect a broke headstud(s) #3 a good used stock 3.0 euro sc with CIS, #4 a hot rod 3.0 with webers newer top end w/JE's I'm reading all the pro's and cons, yes JP.... Santa did bring me Wayne's book (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) What would be your order on my engine choice list above? Cheers (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

For a CIS engine you can get away with no cooling (from what I have read). This is why I went 2.7 with CIS (and because the whole thing was free only needing a complete rebuild).
Get the 3.0 CIS, but realize that you will need different pistons if you wish to add carbs and gain hp. It would still be a good start (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) |

It would still be a good start (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) This is most of my logic, just get a good runner going and then maybe one day hop it up a bit. The engine is a euro spec 83 SC (9.3:1cr) so it's just a hair under 200hp new. At the clinic Walter had no extra cooler in his. I'd do the 2.7 but it needs pistons and cylinders and a lot of machine work, plus I like the idea of a aluminum case over mag. All of this still depends on the leak down test. The other lead I have is an engine that needs a rebuild (or top end), might be able to build my own hot rod engine for a bit less, BUT would it be done on time for May? I would like to be (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) next season. |
