Parts for 2056, Where to source parts Options

[sjhenry1075]

Hey everyone,

I'm in the process of sourcing parts for my 2056 build. I was able to find 2.0 heads that will be rebuilt by a local machine shop, and I found a set of very nice 40 IDF Weber carbs. I'll also be using my 1.7 case.

My question is this: for the engine internals, where can I find these parts? I did see on the Fat Rimco website that they sell a short block kit for $2650 that includes the following:
FAT Camshaft FC 442 Camshaft / FC 440 If Smog
71mm Type 4 Crankshaft
2.0 Connecting Rods - Rebuilt
96mm Forged Pistons & Cylinders - Keith Black
WEB Lifters
Front Oil Seal
Rear Main Seal
Gasket Set - German
Engine Hardware Kit - Nuts & Bolts
Main Bearings - Silverline
Rod Bearings - Mahle
HD Double Thrust Cam Bearings (2 Sets of STD)

What does everyone think about the price? I know some would not refer Fat Rimco for an engine build, but they will just supply the parts, not doing the actual build.

Thoughts?

I picked up a nice set of pistons and cylinders and my valvetrain parts from Tabari Andrade on FaceBook. He's a machinist by trade, and modifies rockers and end stands for going to solid spacers and swivel feet. He also has some other trick stuff at fairly reasonable prices. Should be able to find him in one of the various 914 groups.

Don't bother with stock rods. The AA forged rods are pretty nice and weigh considerably less than the stock rods. Very close in weight to each other, too. Pretty sure they came with pin bushings already installed. Strongly suggest getting the upgraded ARP bolts.
