I am thinking of buying a 74 1.8 for 3500 with 39k miles, a mechanic I know got in a trade for some work and I have wanted one for about 10 years . also how much more HP will I get if I put dual webbers on it ( are 44 better than 40s ) and are there higher ratio rocker arms to increase lift to allow for the added fuel , eletronic ignition hotter coil , what other semi simple HP increasing things can I do . BTW I love this website

if it runs well - leave it alone.
put your money into suspension and brakes - or rust repair. see hp numbers - 72 to 95 - neither is gonna mash you into the seat. http://www.914world.com/specs/engnumbs.php if you're gonna need heat - that will increase the cost of conversion to early style HE's by a bunch and double the effort gathering parts. thus i'd say leave that alone too. jim |
