If you were to choose, would you build a 2056 or 1911?

Thank you for all the information guys! Now I'm leaning towards a 1911. I'll pull my 1.7, replace the heads and add 96mm P&C's, a very mild cam, and the stock D-jet. I have an MSDS header to replace my heat exchangers.
For those who have 2.0 heads, have you had any issues with them? There's a thread by Jake Raby who stated 95% of the ones he's seen have cracking issues. Are they just not reliable? Would it make more sense to machine my 1.7 heads or 1.8 heads? |

One thing to keep in mind is that if you’re determined to change the cam, you’ll be splitting the case. If you’re going to do that, you’re probably going to put in new bearings. At that point, a good used 2.0 crank and 2.0 rods will get you to 2056 for just a little more. |
