Redline torquer 2 intake manifold and a 320holley economiser.... much better on fuel for general driving, but put your foot down and it will dump 1and half cups of fuel down the manifold.....

We put a 186 head on our 202, bored the thing out to 210, pacemaker extractors, redline intake manifold and a holley 465 carb. straight cut cam gears, v8 trans.

It cost me $800 to have my old 202 bored out and machined. I had it bored out 30thou, dunno what that equates to.

210ci will probably just be achieved by boring the cylinders out.

Why did you delete your last post?

well if its reco'd don't go pulling it apart to get an extra 8 cubic inches. It won't do anything.

My initial post has just about all the information you need to make a start.

Well I did mention doing a cam in my initial post.
It is worth doing. Provided you use the correct cam.
