Would you be able to rebuild your own engine? If so, you could make your own 2.2L engine... Bigger bore pistons 95 mm are available. Just offset grind the rod journals 1st oversize to get the stroke increase. Deck the piston tops same amount of offset cut and you have the 2.2l engine Use new AMC heads Do some other custom engine work and you have built your own engine more powerful than a Ticco and Subie... The other change is to the gearbox, add a .457 five speed for the perfect engine gearbox combo... Robert |
