Looking to do a 2056 or 2270 build from a stock 2.0. Changing over to carburetorated, with 96mm pistons.. Looking for good cam advise. I'm looking for more hp, but very reliable.

Welcome, Zman!

Going to carbs opens up a ton of options for you. It really comes down to cost and skill. If you will be rebuilding the engine yourself and you haven't done it before, I'd probably go with a proven 2056 combination. Lots of those engines on the road with good reliability. Others can chime in with specifics. If you go up to 2270, the precision needs to be higher, so it's not something I'd attempt for my first build. You'll also need to think about supplemental oil cooling.

Either way, you'll want to make sure the case checks out as a buildable core, with registers that are dead flat and parallel to the heads. I'd also swap the galley plugs for threaded ones. Good luck!
