So a few weeks ago I posted about my motor going kaput (or close to it, it still runs but oil sample had lots of metal in it). After the discussion on my thread about a new engine I've zeroed in on just doing a 2056. Now I could either build it myself, which means lots of downtime, or have someone else build it. It looks like Fat has a 2056 long block available for ~$7500. Kind of seems like it's in the ballpark for a rebuild. But before I would pull the trigger on something like that does anyone have any experience with Fat lately? I've read both good and bad since they've been purchased by Rimco.

@Rob-O @drem914 you can also call Jorge at European Motorworks in Hawthorne, CA. For Rob, if you were going Rimco you were already looking at shipping or pickup which I’ve heard of Jorge doing shipping before just ask him for instructions and a quote. He did Ian Karr’s line bore it’s in one of his videos. For drem914 he’s a SoCal builder and did my car, he’s busy but should be able to get you in and can do any displacement you want pretty much. Just passing who I’ve had personal experience with
