Hey guys, I am going to have to rebuild my 62 144 engine in the near future and was wondering if there were some changes I could make to increase performance. I would like to keep the 144 block as the car is very original and I want to numbers to match.
Im assuming I could run the crank, rods and pistons from a 170? What would this do to my compression ratio if I retain the original cylinder head? Should I maybe look at purchasing a complete 170 and swapping everything over including the head etc? Is there something else I can do that will give me a similar or better outcome?
I know it would just be easier to change to a 170 or 200 but I really want to keep the matching numbers.
