What to build from collection of 2.0-2.2-2.7 parts.
Over the last two years I have come to own several long blocks and other various parts in prep for building a motor for my long hood project. Car is to be used for weekend mountain and occasional track events. Mag case 915 trans with 7:31 will be used. Inventory thus far is:
A virgin 1968 L 2.0 long block, with 1R case A rebuilt 2.2 long block, w 2R case. Pistons and cylinders unknown yet, haven't opened it up. 2.7 crank, rods, heads and cam towers 3.2 oil pump Weber 40's and various manifolds First thoughts are to build a 2.4, but I would like to hear some opinions on options, and I know there should several available  Thanks!

I just built a JE 2.8, 9.5 and Solex cams on a 74 case, CIS S heads for port size. Driver says it pulls great. with the modified PMOs to match.

long hood moto options
Depends on money, duh. you don't say what year of long hood. If you care to keep period correct size, put a two liter together for a 69 or earlier 2.2 for 70 71, 2.3 for 72 or 73. If you don't care on size correction (I don't by the way) engine size does matter. with the exception that a 66 crank thats counter weighted with good heads cams etc that you can wind it a bunch would be cool. If you have the cw crank how about 95 mm pistons 9.5 JEs and your 40 webbers, 35 or 36 mm heads L cam which is the same as an E for a revy 2.5. SSI and early exhaust. Good for 180 or 190 crank hp or how about a 2.7 with 9.5 pistons 2.7 crank your L cams or bigger same exhaust. now were talking 200 to 220 crank hp. I had similiar bunch of parts as you but no cw crank so chose the above 2.7, now waiting for the finished motor. best Henry

Long hood project is going to stay a narrow body, R type lightweight. Don't have unlimited funds. I like the idea of the high revving 2.5.
I need to do more research as to what the "L" is. Up in the air the most to me is piston and cylinder options.
