My case, to a 1776. Going to call Mr. DeBiasi and see what it'll cost...
Good to see that the thread is back on track. Don't know how it got onto Holdens and Hyundais.


Smiley 🙂
If you said I was a Volkswagen man, you'd be right.

Aha that's gold Smiley 😉

But yes. Looking into a good engine combo.
Looking into a SCAT 35 camshaft. Will replace the bearings and upgrade the lifters.
Dual 40 kadrons. The only thing I'm not sure what to get is pistons...

From what I've heard to get a 1776 you don't need to bore out anything or whatever, just upgrading the camshaft, lifters and pistons then it is possible to get a 1776?

Partnered with a VintageSpeed Exhaust, I think it'll definitely be a good combo to run.
Would love to know other peoples 1776 combinations...

No, you need to bore for 1776 to 90.5mm

Its 1641 that doesn't require boring.

69' baja: kombi box, thing spindles, irs, disc front, type 3 rear drums, 2 inch lift kit, 31x10 rears. 👍
New engine in process: 94mm p&bs, 74mm C/w chomol Crank, 35.5x39 SP heads, turbo. Wierd combo, hopeful torque monsta!

just a 1641 piston/barrel kit. They simply sacrifice cylinder wall thickness for increased bore. they slip straight in.

Save them for door stops.

Seb, if you're getting the case and heads bored and a new P&C kit may as well just go 94mm cost will work out pretty well the same in the end and as far as the motor registery is concerned it's still a "1600"

Last time I checked there wasn't noticable price difference between 90.5s and 94s

Joel,
What would that then make the engine displacement?

I'm keen to get as much bang for my buck.
Will see what I can find online and so forth.

Thought so Craig.
I think it'll be a cheap-ish exercise to do such a thing to the current case. Will contact DeBiasi about it and see what he says.
