Is there a such thing?
I was thinking about reliability and general life-span for the /4 and the /6, is it really worth going to a /6 just for longer life (possibly) and a bit more power? Or should I build a good fresh 2.0? |

im just about to complete a 2056 and to me now a 2K sounds a little low if you want it pretty(powder coat and all).
unless you have a friend to do alot of word(cleaning heads pistons and cylinders, maybe balancing) and assuming that you dont need a flywheel, major head work or exhaust it could be done. britt: why not do a 2056? stock efi except for a tuned mps. can run stock or web 73 or RAT 9550 cam. higher compression(flat top KB's) and prolly about 125Ft/lb instead of the 97 or so stock(4). no need for external cooling! -jim |
