Fat Performance/Rimco Options

[Rob-O]

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.

I have a race motor that FAT built last year, there are a few others on the board as well that had street motors built at the same time. It’s my understanding they (we) are all happy with our builds. Their bad rep came from decades ago when they were first sold and the old guard left. That’s old news, do your own diligence, talk with the engine builder and gain a comfort level.
