I would like to go largest capacity possible for the extra torque.
considering doingitmyself as would like to pick up some mechanical skills.
Done most things over the years as you know but have never stripped or rebuilt a block.
If you wanna start this as another thread in technical, we can do that.
2.5 crank, custom rods and pistons 2.1L... I would only bore it for the next pistons.. won't gain by boring it larger due to the bore thickness..

If you don't do many miles and want torque go 2.5
