Ok - about to start the teardown on my 2.2t. Looking for feedback on my choices.

Own the bible have read (most of) it! (Before somebody asks)

I am aiming at a a nice touring/ street engine with good mid range - not going to spend much time over 7000rpm.so not focused on top end power. Guess hoping to get to something like 150hp

Am going to do a total rebuild so:

- add piston squirters
- Oil bypass mod
- Case savers

I am inclined towards a short stroke and reuse whatever I can so thinking
- keep t crank
- refresh t heads
- double springs
- bore out my iron cylinders to 86mm (have read some saying I can't and some saying no problem)
- - je pistons (9.5:1)
- e cams (or DC30? is this worth it given I am sticking with t crank so wont be high rev motor)
- Weber 40s

- was hoping to avoid adding an oil cooler - interested if you think possible with this aetup

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance
