I am starting to collect parts for a 2056 build. Here is what I am thinking as far as pieces to the puzzle:

Parts I have:
-Purchased a very nice case machined by HAM Inc with main bearings and upgraded case bolts
-2.0 crank
-2.0 rods
-nice flywheel
-fan with A/C pulley (yes I need A/C in south Mississippi)
-Weber 44 idf Spanish made
-have complete 2.0 heat exchanges and exhaust
-complete 1975 2.0 in car currently runs great complete fuel injection leaks oil everywhere!!! Will use what parts I can and sell the rest

What I need info on:
-can I use weber 44 if so who rebuilds them for this size motor?
-will carbs give better preformance than fuel injection? (With A/C)
-If I use weber 44 what cam kit from Jake?
-What heads Jake Raby's RS+ or LE 200 I do want new heads
-Will buy 96 KB pistons and AA cylinders
-stock heat exchangers and exhaust o.k.?

Machine shop:
-What rotating parts need to go?
-does case need to go?
-Piston and Cylinders also?

I know I am forgetting tons of stuff. Please remember I am a rookie and need guidance.
Thanks Jeff

The type 4 store is under reconstruction. There will be some major changes to it, including the head program. I'm putting together an outline of the changes to the head program that I'll post up here very soon. Probably right after the labor day weekend.

The only way now to get feedback from Jake regarding anything sold through the store is to post on his forum. He's very forthcoming there and will answer your questions.

I don't want to debate the good or bad about it, but he may just as well toss his phone as he is totally unavailable to speak to. I'm heading in that direction too as the demands on time from the phone are hard to meet. There are only so many hours in the day. We're both very happy to field questions on a public forum where the answers can help others and show up in searches.
