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 |

QUOTE(sendjonathanmail @ Oct 8 2007, 07:18 AM)  QUOTE I know that was kind of all over the place with this but I am pretty sure you see where I am going with it. I think 5K could build you a wicked type IV and if I didnt want it to be so "wicked" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ... what can it cost to build a 110-ish hp motor? -JON I have not really investigated the less radical route. My intention is to build a purpose built race engine. I have been debating back and forth with a friend of mine that is a 17 year veteran 356 racer on what route to go. He is pumping out an almost unbelievable 172 hp out of his 1.7 liter 356 engine. I think the plans for my engine are probably not relevant to what you are looking for after rereading this post. I will be running close to 13:1 compression, a very lumpy cam and a set of either raby heads or possibly stock heads taken to a local tuner by the name of stemson. I guess he builds all of the heads for Jerry Woods and has done the race heads for Andial but I am thinking they will fall into the OH SH*T price range so the raby heads are probably for me. 110 - 120 hp should be easy to reach in the 2-3K price range. |
