Hey all,
After buying the 73. 2.0L from CAMP I pulled a crunched 72 out of someone's driveway for parts (the 73 needs a clutch), The car had been sitting after an accident for 2 years and was pretty much totalled after crunching the passenger-rear side against something large and white. The car was totalled, but the engine still seems intact (the transmission broke a mount clean off). I've been pulling other parts off the car and will have them available pretty cheap to those who want them, but since I've got the engine I was thinking about building a fun motor out of it. Any suggestions on what to build? Cost/performace/reliability all factors as it will be my daily driver... I'd probably be down to spend around $1k... Cheers! |

the only real difference is the heads and the crank... you will be changing the cam regardless to run carbs right... the heads on the 1.7 aren't made to hold the 96mm pistons, so they need to be opened up that way... they also don't FLOW as well, so you need to have them ported for anything, just about... the crank on the 2.0 is 71mm stroke instead of 66mm... the rods are also a different length, and have a different journal... http://tunacan.net/t4/tech/conrods.htm but the rods will be changed too... the main differences are the heads and the crank... you can use the 1.7 heads, they will just need more work, or find some good 2.0 heads and have them refreshed(maybe a little cheaper, but not by much) |
