i've been tossing the idea around of doing a engine rebuild next year and wanted to ask you guys which engine people usually use.
I have a stock 1.7L with L-jet, but I think a nice 2056 or a tad bigger would be good... what do ya'll think? Sincerely, Sir-Post-Alot |

For the cost of a 2L crank and rods (maybe $200) I'd jump up to a 2056 even with 1.7L heads. Even at super sale prices a whole 1911 kit from Jake is probaby going to cost at least $2K.
If that isn't close to your budget then I'd keep an eye out for some free 1.7/1.8 engines. People around my neck of the woods seem to just give them away because nobody wants them. Maybe try and piece together a good engine from used parts and new rings, bearings, and some head work. At minimum it could be a fun project. |
