was considering a 2.7-ish engine for a shell that I have. After reviewing what is necessary, I am starting to think that a big four is sufficient.
what is the normal power output for a 2056, and can that setup run on FI? looking for something with a bit more power than what we have. Currently have a spare 2.0 out of a '75/'76 sitting in the garage... thanks! -JON |

If you're just building a street car a 2056 with stock FI is an awesome choice. You'll easily be able to make 110 HP or more. Torque jumps up as well. More than enough power and its very straight forward rebuild and install.
If your're good at spotting deals and aquiring used parts a six can be a very cost effective way to add power. But it sounds like a little more than you need. If you're not worried about keeping car aircooled Subi is a great choice. This post has been edited by grantsfo: Oct 7 2007, 08:21 PM |
