Subject:      81 Westy Dead Engine
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252"


Greetings everyone,


Well I have taken the plunge and bought a pretty clean 81 Westy with a dead
engine. Minor bumps and rust here and there, but will be fun to clean up and
use.  Looking at options whether to rebuild or do an engine conversion ?


1)Is there any performance upgrades that you can do to the stock 2.0 L ? Has
any one on the list done any ?


2)I have been reading some stuff on the Porsche engine conversion, any
thoughts on this one ? And what would be the most reasonable Porsche engine
to transplant ?




Thanks in advance for your input everyone!


Jon
