Am I sure I like old cars? ![]() Group: Members Posts: 45 Joined: 7-September 07 From: Carlinville IL Member No.: 8,087 Region Association: Upper MidWest ![]() |
I see this topic discussed many times before but I seem to be scratching my head every time so I will just post it one more time.
I am doing an engine build up this winter for my ‘73. I have a 1.7 core. I have a set of rebuilt 2.0L heads. I am looking for a strong daily driver. As with all of these builds there is a cost vs. benefit issue. I am not going to race the car and I do not need a mega hp motor to brag about to the bar buddies. However I don’t want to leave any power on the table. It looks like the KB pistons and the AA cylinders are the right way to go. But size is leaving scratching my head. I know someone told me “size matters and bigger is better” but I am never quite sure! So I leave it to you guys. I need advice on Piston and Cylinder combos and a cam. Thanks in advance and sorry for being the 3489 person to post this question. |

Having the 1.7 core imposes no handicaps on your build- the 1.7 case is universally effective to be made into any other engine combo all the way up to 3 liters.
What limits the possibilities are: Intended budget Means of induction (barbs, stock EFI, etc) Retaining heat exchangers or tosssing them for a full header. The plan you make now is the most important. |
