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 |

No problem Dan.. Glad you are happy.
What I plan on doing is taking a 50,000 mile good running core stock 2.0 and doing a mega update on it going through the stock upgrades and testing for power and temperature differences in the lab, then break it down and pretend that I am an enthusiast tasked with the same challenge that you had. I'll then put it all back together with the modified combo as a 2056 and re-test it the same way. Then I'll sell it to someone that is willing to take it off my hands and drop it into their car. |
