Barrels and pistons (duh)

Anyone remembers this? Someone mentioned once a combination of

1800 heads and 2 liters barrels and pistons. (or was it the other way?) Anyway, to get more power. True?

If you mean the type 4 engine, then the 1800cc stock heads are better. They have larger valves than the 2 liter heads.

I built my 2 liter T4 with 1.8 heads.

Would think you'd want the 2.0L crank and rods too - for the longer stroke.

Do the 1800 (S) and 2000 (G) heads have the same combustion chamber volume? (55cc)

I notice the combustion chamber shape is different, and the piston dish have different volumes.
