Hi there, I did automatic 2tc to 3tc in my old 78 liftback. And ran a 2TC in my originally 3TC equipped 1980 liftback for several years. It should be a easy swap. The engine blocks have the same mounting points, they just changed the shape of the engine mounts a couple times. As such for any engine ...

Well it's been many years but it's time for an update to this thread and list. I've built a new engine for my 80 Liftback. Specs are: - 3TC block, bored out to use 87mm 10.5:1 Wiesco pistons. (1.9-ish Liters). Stock crank and connecting rods. 0.10 oversize bearings - 3TC head, gasket matched, lightl...

Please let us know if you find a new bearing and source to buy it from. I think mine is going out too.

Please read my weber jetting post to start with and every basic weber tuning site you can fine! (There are tons of them on the web.) I put together my list of jetting to help people find a baseline. All the cars on my list are fully functional, street driven and tested over long periods of time. The...

http://3tcgarage.com/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=142 Read my weber jetting post to get you started :-). The stockish cars with 32/36's on this list all got/get between 18-23mpg city and up towards 30mpg highway. I never tuned them for pure economy, more for all around driving and power, but find the s...
