4K or Not 4K



If I pull the .71 from the FF, I just need a 2l bottom. My butt is ONLY 1.8 
16v  :)
The car is going off road very soon, to be stripped for painting.
If I moved to a 2l could I beat Ben Harder in a race? How much would a 2L 
bottom end cost in good condition? Which engine should I look for?
