Hi Folks,

Possibly done a thousand times, so sorry for not finding it elsewhere, however when I 'refresh' my totally original 71 5 Speed 2.2T, I am obviously looking at options to find a few more ponies. To this extent, I will bore my original cylinders to 85 (or 86mm at a stretch), retain my non CW crank, but look to add lighter rods and pistons. Aim to get ~10:1 or close to that, and run S style cam (or maybe E). Car is running 40IDA3C/1 carbs.

Anybody have any good ideas on what works well? One option was Carillo Ti rods and Puater pistons. Not sure if I need Ti though on a fast road engine?

Adam.
