I have the chance to pick up a 1,7 engine for about $300, its seems like a pity to pass it over but I am wondering what I can do with it. The engine in my car is a 2.0, can I build a stroker from the 1,7 or use it in some other way or just use it for spares?

IIRC, all cases are the same dimensions.
In fact I believe that Jake said he prefers the 1.7s for a fresh build. Dont remember why but guessing that they just have not been abused as much as a larger motor? |

Dont remember why but guessing that they just have not been abused as much as a larger motor? Jake told me the early 1.7 was better metal and less stressed/overheated. His choice for the hi po builds. |

His choice for the hi po builds. Search "1911 stroker". Lots of good reading. I believe that's where I've read those comments by Jake. I have two 1.7's sitting on the shelf for future use. |
