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.

QUOTE(914Sixer @ Feb 5 2022, 10:47 AM)  Get Clay to recommend some on local in the Dallas area. I’ll ask Clay. My guess is that he’d recommend the same set of shops that I already know. Zims Autotechnik talked about going the Fat direction. Mayo is another shop here in DFW but I think now that Ed Mayo had moved on the 914 experience has moved on with him. Not positive about that but I will look into it. Just thought I’d check into the Fat/Rimco idea. The idea of getting a long block and slapping my old parts on and stuffing it into the car was appealing. |
