2056 cc long block recommendations, Various Options for a 2056cc build/ kit or long block Options

[Str1974]

I know this topic probably has been beaten to death already, but I'd like to learn as much as any is willing to share about rebuilding an early 1.7 case to a 2056cc configuration. I have never rebuilt an engine before (have disassembled mine so far) , so I would either get a reputable 2056 engine build kit and have a mechanic familiar with air cooled engines to put it all together in the DFW area. OR purchase a 2056cc long block from a reputable vendor. I know Jake Raby's work is top notch, but I cannot see a 2056cc engine build available from his website. I'm trying to find other kits out there that others here would recommend. I've looked at the GEX engine website, but have also read negative reviews regarding their products, mainly that low cost equals to less than stellar reliability in the long run. I'd really like a good product, one others recommend and where you get what you pay for.

I'm not looking to race or over the top horsepower. Just a little more than stock 2.0 L and still use my L-Jet fuel injection as a daily reliable driver that will be a member to the family for many years to come.

Recommendations and advice greatly appreciated.
