Hello and good day, please don't beat me up, i'm only asking at this point because of some things I found in my searchings. Here is the back ground as I was told, and I'm wanting you to to tell me if this is feasable or run away.
-Engine was bought complete, had low oil pressure. Race engine -Engine completely stripped down for rebuild, crank and rods toast, needs new ones. -106 mm cylinders and rebuilt heads to match. The heads look brand new. -Fabulous looking duel webers. Unsure how big? Labor won't be an issue in cost, but can this be a street drivable engine or is it just too big and will not be reliable? Thanks, |

Big engine means big money. No way around it. At least if you plan on having it last any reasonable amount of time and put out what it should. What's the point of building an inefficient 2.6 if it only puts out 150hp? You can build a nice strong 2270 that does that.
The bigger you go, the more careful/knowledgable you have be to actually have that increased size worth the money. Anyone can build a 2056 to its potential. The 2270 at its peak has a few tricks, but isn't hard. A 2.4 at its peak takes some real know-how and experience to build correctly. A 2.6 at its peak is very challenging. |
