    Re: So Im Rebuilding

    I'm looking at $1500 (probably end up around $3000) when I rebuild. That's doing as much work as I can myself. Good parts cost a lot, but good parts are 1000% worth it in the long run.

    Re: So Im Rebuilding

    I have the DCOEs sitting here, I have a head that I'm going to port and polish myself. I want to boost the compression up to about 10:1. Maybe more, maybe not. Looking at Eagle rods, +.030 bore Arias custom pistons, and an upgraded valvetrain. A nice camshaft regrind should pretty much top it off.

    NA carbed is the way I like it. Gonna be a great business car, eh?

    Re: So Im Rebuilding

    I'm not dead set on .030 over yet. I may go more since I have spare blocks. I'm not running boost, just pure static compression.

    I do think I may have my head extrudehoned. I'll see if I think it's worth it when I get into the build. Probably just end up having RJudgey walking me through a P&P, though.
