Anyone know what a 73 2.0 engine weighs? I am considering all my options.
Originally I was looking at a LS1 or LS2 conversion, which I really like. My 75 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) is very rust free, so I am not sure about cutting such a nice chassis. There is a parts car close to me: http://kansascity.craigslist.org/cto/2191962145.html Thoughts??? -Jim Attached thumbnail(s)

It would be a shame to hack up a rare good chassis for something like that. More hp is not always better. There was a recent poll here where most said 150 - 200 hp is best for a 914. Save your time and money for those guys in the pic above. Or buy a car already converted. For sure you can find one cheap relative to the cost of construction. Why? Filling the trunks with miscellaneous engine junk makes the car less useful, but more expensive. Kind of like an upside-down mortgage. Thinking about it, buying parts - thats fun. Finding time and doing the actual work - PITA and BTDT. Just my opinion.

So, I am saving 44 LBS. with my 1.7!!
I am actually quite pleased with the pep of the 1.7..fun! But are you saying a 2.0 conversion requires cutting up the engine tin or bay? |

2 liter will bolt right in but the tins are different from the 1.7 and 1.8 due to different spark plug angles. Don't know where the extra 44 pounds comes from though.

[edit]oops, aside from minor holes in tin for spark plugs[/edit] The LS1/LS2 is an aluminum block Chevy v8 with 300+ more hp than a 2.0 and doesn't weigh more than a Porsche 6. That conversion requires a small notch in the rear trunk wall for the distributor. And a radiator in the front trunk. |

Still havent decided. 3.2 conversion is more expensive than a Renegade system. |

Still.....44lbs diff between a 1.7-1.8 and 2.0, that seems like a lot.

Especially considering the 2.0 has a slightly lighter crank and slightly lighter rods. Perhaps the stock 2.0 flywheel is lighter? I never noticed a difference, but it could be true. PET doesn't show different part numbers... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
I call bogus... |
