small 6 vs. big 4, help with the basics... Options

[jonferns]

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

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.

I'm sure there will be no shortage of people willing to volounteer for this one!

Jake, one day I'm hoping to have one of your engines in my car, it's just a matter of time and $ to do it properly.
Seems like things have changed quite a bit from when you first broke the news of your 5k turnkey engine combo. I remember sales being a little slow at first from the 914 crowd, but it looks like that's changed for the better. I for one am glad to see it because it means you'll keep offering the engine combos and improving upon them. They'll be that much better when I am finally in a position to take advantage of your research. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif)
