Trying to plan the motor for the 71 gl vert. Not sure if I should go t4 or t1. I have parts to build a 2.0 t4, minus carbs cooling and exhaust. Head rebuilds also cost another $500. So I'm looking at atleast another 2k in a t4 motor.
Or for 2k I can build a pretty respectable t1 motor.
Got a 911 fan and alt sitting on the bench with nothing to do.
What would you guys do?

right now, don't have a shroud, just have the ring and alt. I just like the look of the 911 fan on any engine.
Thinking about a sharpbuilt shroud.
Got body work to deal with first though.

T1, cheaper and good HP per $ spent.
Depends on how many miles you want to get out of it as well.

yea, but if you already have all the parts for a T4 2.0 rebuild you are more then halfway there.

Wow, this is tough. I'm leaning toward the 1776 t1 with dual carbs. I'm just looking for a nice family crusier to take to shows and the local drive in.
Wonder if Webcam would trade me the t4 cam and lifters I have for a set for t1? Could probably sell off most of the t4 stuff and pay for the t1.
that is way to small. put in the TIV. have something to back up the looks. :D
