I had my block bored out to a 3.2litre from a 2.9litre....but, had the block
ultrasounded to ensure that I had enough thickness in the walls before I did
it....
Also run triple webers 45DOCE with custom grind cam and fully worked head
(flowbenched), headers, superdamper, 10:1 compression, roller rockers,
lightweight flywheel etc etc
With webers, the key is keeping the vacuum up.....you need the correct cam
to do this..... With the wrong cam, you'll have no velocity.
Webers are great carbs.....can be tuned six ways to Friday and once done,
they stay that way.

Gary, I would NOT recommend that unless absolutely required by cylinder
condition. Just ONE scratch/gouge/fast wear will automatically mean that
you will be re-sleeving SIX holes @ approx. $40 a pop. Now just think of
what the machine shop (if they will even do the job - LOTS won't) will
charge!! NOT a 'nice' thought.
If I had the 4 banger for a TD Mk. II back I could tell you what the
dollar amount would be around here<F>!!
The car had not run for several years prior to me getting it but Owner said
it ran REALLY HOT and that cockpit was HOTTER than a BJ-7 he had driven.
Might have been that it was bored out to .120+!!!! That is so close to the
water jacket neither myself nor my machinist could believe<G>!!
