My JH came with an original engine that only had 27,000 miles on it, so while my 2.2 project awaits additional funding, I'm driving what I think is still a very fun car. I had everything balanced, used new bearings, honed the liners, spruced up the head, added 107 cams, green dot pulleys, mechanical advance distributor and 45mm Dellortos. The 107's give a great rev range throughout and the car feels very balanced. A 2.2 with a big valve head would certainly be much better, but as I said, it's completely tolerable right now. A 104, 107 combo on a stock bottom & head end will not be buying you anything better, I would guess performance would be less dynamic, not more so since you really need the compression and big valves to see some gains.
