AH Engine - Case cleaning up

The details of my AH206906 rebuild

Posted on 2019-03-27

The basics of my AH206906 rebuild.

This is a small subset of my spreadsheet where I plan out where each part needs to come from and keep track of the vendor, price, part #, etc.

Reusing the AH case and not having any other problems should put the engine rebuild costs at $2,726.76.

With many of the crate long blocks out there starting at $2500 for a basic 1600cc engine, I think the $2,726.76 parts cost will hopefully be the max for this.

If I had reused some of the AH engine parts, which I would have if I had a air-cooled knowledgeable machine shop around to deal with a lot of things, I would have spent a lot less.

However, when I decided to do what I’m calling basically “Stock Plus” with GTV-2 heads, a counter-weighted SCAT crank, a new lightened flywheel, better cam and 1.25 rocker arms, basic dual carbs, etc. I know I would have to put out some money for the SCAT and other better performing parts.

I could seeing to spend another few dollars here and there. Hell, I may even not use some of these parts and reuse some of the original 1974 AH206906 engine stock parts. I do have that AR engine I need to accumulate tins and such for. I’m hoping I can test and rebush some of the alternators I have too.
