Increasing the power 1800 70

posted by  someone claiming to be Randolph Peterson on  Fri Jul 16 09:07 CST 1999 [RELATED]

While finishing up this summers projects, my affliction has reared its ugly head for next summer already. I am contemplating doing or having engine modifation to increase horsepower (vroom).

I am by no means a 'motorhead' ;). So I,m seeking opinions and advice. My 1800E has 49K (yup thats correct - 49K), and no previous engine rebuild or mods. I have read a little on what's available and was thinking of the following: Larger valves with hardened valve seats with an IPD cam (?which one?)with lifters and springs, an IPD header, and a new exhaust sytem.

Does anybody have opinions or advice on these? Is there anything else I should think of (?ignition upgrade)?

Thanks - Randolph
