I,m a rockie with T4 stuff, coorect me if I am wrong. a 1.7 has a different crank, bore and stroke than a 2.0, so would I not be better to find a 2.0 to start with for a rebuild. I think Im going to seriously crunch some numbers to see the comparison of complete rebuild of a 2.0 and converting it over to a T1 compared to the cost of a complete 2270 from Jake. Has anyone out there done this, and which way would you go.
I presently have a 1835 with all the goodies and dual Dellortos in my '69 and also a rebuildable 1.7. But I have 2 beetles , so I need 2 engines. The question is what would it cost to have a comparable engine as to one Jake could build. I know with the rebuild one I will not have Jakes technology and craftmanship and I think I am willling to pay the price for that. Does anyone in Canada have the same engine building experience as Jake.
Questions , questions, questions all your input is appreciated.
