well in *MY* opinion the valve sizes are too large for either....you are wanting a street motor, so a 2007(78x90.5) or the 2165(78x94) with a mild port job with 40x35.5 valves would have some great torque with the right cam(keeping the duration below *about* 280 degrees)....pop on some webber 44 idfs and you would have a very nice "street" engine that could still impress you when you "mash" it....Large valves, huge duration cam, big carbs, and huge exhaust make for great HP up top, but at the expense of low end power....no naturally a 2L+ engine will have good low end torque because of the size of the engine, but the lager valves and such move the "power" band *up* the rpm scale...But also realize i am NO engine builder(have built quite a few that were great and some where i *missed* it on the combo) and this is just one mans opinion...you are doing the right thing by asking questions and "researching" *before* you bolt it together....two final suggestions:1) don't skimp on important parts(pretty much *all* of the parts are "important" 2) have the entire rotating assembly balanced...money well spent...
