So I am a little confused, you have a 1.7 liter 4 cylinder in your car and are upgrading to a six cylinder engine, I think. Nice upgrade and you will like it a lot.
Additionally, you are having the six rebuilt from what is presently a 2.0 to a 2.2. If it were me, (old guy driving it around town) I would want it to have more bottom end and mid-range power. If you are tracking it, then running it up to redline is probably where you will see the "S" really come to life. Ask your builder to give you all of the specs of the build: cams, carbs/F./I., pistons/cylinders and any valve or head work. Headers? etc. Have you considered if your car will need additional cooling? Better to think about that before it is built than add it after. Have fun. |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) People say S spec when they drop in a set of S cams but usually don't take into account the $1,500 worth of head work, S crank and all the other stuff that really goes with it. Add in 2 grand for the front oil cooling. It is good to know the performance characteristics of the engine you want before you build it. |
