Subject:Increased WBX displacement
From:Todd Last

Is anyone running a larger displacement WBX engine?
I notice various vendors offer 2.2, 2.3. 2.4 and even 2.5l engines.

Ignoring for the moment that the cost of some puts you into the same ballpark as an engine conversion, is there any shared wisdom on the reliability of these increased displacement engines? Are they a viable option at rebuild time?

Interesting to note that some of the more respected vendors only offer stock displacement rebuilds.

Opinions, please.
