I got the 1.7 and I am also regretting not getting the 2.2...I will have the 2.2 by the end of the year though..the 1.7 will not be hard to sell for almost what i bought it at...
My Block is from Strictly Performance w/ Manley Rods, JE pistons and cobra crank with the other goodies...
When I get my new 6 speed tranny in, I am going to order the 2.2..I just dont like the feeling of having to stop at 500hp..
