I've got a 2.0 short block laying around and that's about it, so building from the ground up. Got it for a great deal and figured I couldn't pass it up. ($150 for those interested, yes deals are still out there.)
I'd like to do a budget build when possible, used cylinders to be bored to size, that sort of thing.
Anyways on to the "build"
In my head I'm thinking:
-71mm crank (stock 2.0)
-102mm Deutz cylinders cut out to 103mm. Have the heads stepped per the thread above for minimal warpage and run slightly negative deck.
-AA 103x71 pistons
-Stock rods?
-Len Hoffman heads (no idea how to go about getting those since their site is super outdated, but that's a bridge to burn when we get to it.)
-Cam? Outside my pay grade, I went with a C25 on my 1.7l build and it's treated me pretty well so far. For a 2.3l? Not a clue, would like it to be mild and streetable though.
-911 adjusters on some 1.7 rockers if I can find a set.
-Type 1 lifters possibly? Not looking for 7k RPMs or anything so not sure if the costs outweigh the benefits there.
-Have a spare T4 crank trigger setup from Mario at the Dub Shop so would likely run MS-EFI for fuel and spark.
-Turbo?
Anyone done a 2366 before? How'd it run? Did it last?
What CR should I shoot for? Combustion chamber size? Valve size?
Heck if it works out to a reasonable combo I can probably start collecting parts as I find deals.
