914World.com _ 914World Garage _ 2056 kit is on the way!!

Posted by: Bill Shaw Jan 10 2006, 02:48 PM

Just got the word from FedEx that my 2056 kit from Jake is on the way to K'zoo. Guess I'll have to start scooping up all the parts from the Weber rebuild to make room on the workbench (hope there are not too many left over). Let's see - about 25 cases of beer ought to do it.

Street car or race car?
What fuel delivery and exhaust are planned?

Bill!!! Glad to hear that. What to know what's ironic???

I'm planning on building a 2056 too!!! Let me know when it gets in town and I can lend a hand.

Should be a fun motor for the teener...

This'll be basically a street car with enough oomph to keep ahead of my kid and his Miata - sometimes age and treachery aren't enough. I'm going to scrap the FI and bolt on a set of 44 Webers. I like the FI, but I'm not savvy enough to build a Megasquirt and I'm a little leary about trying something requiring a hell of a lot more electrical and computer knowledge than I've got. I'll probably stick with the stainless heat exchanger and Bursch setup that I have now. Headers would be nice, but this is Michigan after all.

Please keep us up to date with expenditure, with McMark offering the awesome 2056 deal it will be interesting to compare. Good luck and have fun!

Yep, its on the way....

The kits I have set up for mcmark to assemble for you guys are slightly different than something I would set up for a direct purchaser-

Nothing..... Mark is a "pro" so his kits get a few different parts that the direct purchaser won't...
