Got my teener back from Mark Henrry, Aug. long weekend, drove it 1655 KM home to Moncton, no problems whatsoever! Just finished a 5 hour run with spirited driving, lots of twisty's and had to allow a bit of distance from the 911 ahead of me as I easily was on his ass in the twisty parts. Mark did a great job on my engine, fixing someone else's mistakes, nice to finally have a nice working engine! I am really impressed with the difference having a 2056, as has been said before, this is what it should of had right from the start.
I do have the factory sway bars, shocks are original, most likely Boge, and I did install the 100 lb weltmeister springs, that's it, she handles extremely well, is comfortable on a long trip and with that 2056 is a very nice package.

73 2.0, but the engine was getting tired and starting to puff smoke between shiftsIt ran really well and was pretty quick, no problem sticking with an original six although his did sound nicer! I got the new heads from LN engineering and the Raby cam kit, combine that with the slight increase in displacement and you have a nice little engine. I found the biggest improvement is you have more torque at lower rpm.

Yup. That's the best part of the 2056.
What size pistons does it have ? And what change to the headers / exhaust. ?
2056 is 71mm stroke x 96mm bore.

What Mark said about the Pistons , pretty standard exhaust, SS heat exchangers and a muffler from Tangerine Racing that has 2 outlets.

Switched the d-jet out, put in L-jet. D-jet just wouldn't run right, Mark Henry tried hard, l-jet works nice.
