Hey everyone,
For those of you who are on the east coast, I really wish I could have made it to the gathering, but I had just moved, and I am in the process of having the car re-sprayed, so it was just bad timing. I am in the process of building a 2056 from my stock 1.7 case. I just have a few questions, and as many times I have searched this, I just did not get a concrete answer so here I am. Also, sorry for the length of this post. In regard to the engine build: - which pistons should I use? AA, Keith Black, or JE? - Should I stick with the FI, or switch to carbs? What are the pros/cons? I realize that switching to carbs allows a more aggressive cam, but how much of a difference would it make performance wise? - For heads, 2.0 heads have a reputation for cracking, so I was going to use 1.8's with 44x38 valves. Thoughts? Is it worth it to upgrade to the 911 swivel feet? - For my exhaust I'll be using my MSDS header with a spintech muffler. lastly, the car is being painted in the original Adriatic Blue. I'll definitely share photos once it's completely finished! Thanks everyone! |
