Depending on who you ask, there may or may not be a very little bit of clearancing you have to do to the inside of the 1.7 case when you put the 2.0 crank/rods/Ps/Cs in it.

You can even put 96mm P&Cs on a 1.7, but the cylinder walls are a bit thin. If you use the 1.8 heads, you can use the 96mm kit designed for the 1.8, which has thicker walls and seems to be more durable. That will give you 1910cc displacement on a 1.7/1.8 crank, 2055cc on a 2.0 crank.

If you're willing to spend the $$, you may be able to go higher on the stroke than 71mm. 78mm fits with very little machining. Put that together with the 96mm P&Cs, and you have Jake's 2270cc kit.

Warning: If you autocross/time trial/etc. your car, or were thinking of doing it, displacement changes will usually put you into the highly-modified classes with the "big buck" crowd.
