Hi All, Well, my 70 FI AT runs, but I can hear a faint knocking down in the case. :( Since this is intended to be a reliable daily driver... I'm now headed to disassemble, inspect and rebuild or replace the motor. While thinking about this, some questions occurred to me and I wondered about others thoughts on this matter. Would the stock FI system be agreeable with some upgrades to the mechanical parts below? I'm not talking anything crazy, just mild upgrades. For example, I may need to replace bearings inside, so while everything is open... what if I upgraded the pistons and cylinders to make it a 1641cc? or what about 1776? Could the stock FI handle an increase in CCs? Or... what about the inclusion of a mild cam? let's say 110? or a counterweighted crank? Has anyone done these types of upgrades with the stock fuel injection system with successful results? or, any comments why this can't be done?
