1700 engines back in the day

cool reply!
One thing I just realized, I didn't build my first big Weber motor until I had other cars to drive around in, besides my '67. I ended up with a 1970 Bus and a 1981 X19 Fiat to tool around in while my Bug became a prima donna.
Candy ass! ;D
My 67 started with a stock 1500 SP. I decided that I wanted to put Kadronuts on it. Well I dropped a washer down the intake and of course the intake valve was open. So I had to break the motor down. When it went back together, it was a 1641cc with ported SP heads, 009, Engle 110 full flow and the Kadronuts.
About a year later I ran across a deal that I couldn't pass up on some 48s so I had to put together a motor to use them. Same "H" case with a forged cw crank, VZ35 (might have been a 30) carillo rods, 010, Cima 90.5 ported dp heads and skat trak tall manifolds holding the 48s amd a fortuned 1 3/8 merged head with custom muffler.
And it was my daily driver!
deano:
I can really relate to this thread, as I drove one of these combos for years; 1700cc, Engle 110, big intake valves, IDAs, 9.5:1 compression, 1-1/2 Berg exhaust, 010, etc. I just remembered that they did not offer 88Bs back then (at least by Kolbensmitty), so if you added a longer arm, which I did later on, it was spacer city. My 1835cc made more torque, but burned more oil. Imagine that? We called 88s.... skatey-eights.

Why did you take it apart Rick Hell I would have started up and gave it a 7000 Grand Rev or two and Blow it right out the Exhaust LMAO it was only a 1500 single port? ;D ;D

Would've needed rebuilding one way or the other! ;)
dyno don:
to this very day...for me one of the sweetest running 1700's was the aronson/holmes white ragtop engine...it was abused beyond normal conditions and neglected by the time i had a chance to tune it/upon a fresh tune that thing ran like a bat out of hell...same combo as deano's engine/simple ...old school ...and just kept on running....
