Doubt you'd build a decent stroker for $2K, I'll probably rack up 3/4 of that just on a mild 1600 I'm doing. Sure you can get a crank up to 86mm for $250US and some P&C's for $170US but there's a lot more to it than that. Once you get up to that type of motor you need some serious heads and they will set you back more than $1K on their own, plus all the rest of the stuff.
Not being nasty that's just the way I see it from what I have found out on my Oval motor. With that one I've set my goals way above my budget so buying (very) slowly is the only way I can do it.

1958 Beetle drag car project
1959 Beetle project I need to sell one day
1969 Squareback

Yeah I can get some parts on account through work and have them paid off later, but the main parts (Carbs, P+B's, Rods and Cranks) will be from this 2k.
I'm thinking I might just buy some stock bearings/rings and just give her a freshen up (Plus add the carbs and exhaust).

No way. Absolutely no way. Subaru is 'cheap horsepower' yadda yadda yadda but to get it into the car, with radiator, body mods, pipes, mounts, brakes, exhaust, engineers etc etc will be a $5K + exercise

I thought long and hard today about the Subaru offer, no thanks Seagull.
I'll leave the Subaru plans for my '72.
I've decided to just re-ring and bearing the engine I have (As the pistons and barrels are okay).
Still looking for other items though.
