I would fit a good L20B black rocker cover high energy engine from a S2
Bluebird, bolt on some extractors and put it on LP gas
That way you will have some grunt and be economical.
Just my tuppence worth

Hello all on the list!
I have an old faithful 180B which has served me well for many years,
however the engine is now approaching the end of its life. I could get it
rebuilt, but for not much more I can get a new engine and have that
done. I asked one workshop on the recommended option, and he suggested an
L20B motor. This seems like a good option to me; it's an easy swap and I'm
not trying to make a performance car out of it, just something with a
little more urge than normal. However, anything that I *can* get out of
it, I *will* (within a fairly tight budget; I don't want to spend heaps and
gain little).
So what advice can anyone give on an L20B swap into an 180B? What can be
done to the engine during a rebuild that would extract a little more power,
without going overboard? By 'overboard', I mean I'm not interested in
building some 200HP race-ready monster. This is my daily driver, and
spends most of its time doing a highway commute.
The workshop suggested putting a different head on the motor; I can't
remember which one but he said it'd be about $400 extra (including
polishing etc). A new exhaust system will definitely go on, I just don't
know what yet.
Thanks in advance,
Brian K.
