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? |

Not to pull away from OP's question, but it is related. I just had a 2056 "professionally" built with a Raby 9590 cam and am running 8.8:1 compression with stock L-jet. The car ran like a champ for 300 miles, then the engine locked up. When I remove the engine, I am considering lowering the compression. Is that a good idea?

It wasn’t the 8.8 compression ratio - at least not independent of other issues. |

My ? was should I lower the compression ratio while I have the engine apart. If my comments help the OP, then great. Otherwise, feel free to PM me with comments. TIA |

If the car was running like a champ, then I wouldn't. Unless you find that it somehow contributed to the failure and need to for some reason.
