2.0l block

[roccit_53 at hotmail.com (C Boyko)]

Well I personally am too weak to throw a 2L head far enough to qualify as 
"away", though mine did end up in Barrie. ( I liked my 2L head just fine, 
but had the 1.8 rebuilt )

Seriously, I always have issues with saying this or that will add x hp, 
especially something like a head. It's part of the puzzle, the rest being 
intake, cams, exhaust, and so on, adding just one isn't going to net you the 
same as if you add that same thing after all the other things have been 
done. I'm making decent power on a 1.8 head (133 at the wheels, with the 2L 
head it made 112, which is about right for the rated 130ish at the engine), 
so it's certainly not a bad option. But I added all that other good stuff 
too.

1987 16V 2L/1.8 head and NO MUFFLER!!!
1979 8V that makes exactly half the power (for now)
Which camp was I in again?
