Thread: engine build on a budget....

well basically I want to do a complete rebuild partially so i can use it as a class project and secondly so ill have a fresh engine in this car..

as for what i want 1/4 mile wise not overly concerned but i like to build anything i have into something faster and better then when i bought it.

and also i was told it was easier to drop the engine as oppossed to lifting it out...

either way ill probably find a block at a junk yard and build off it so i can still keep my car drivable as long as possable

if youre doing head work, get a big cam to go with the head work. if your just rebuilding the stock heads and keeping them stock, then get a cam that runs well on stock heads.

either way with a cam and being non-intercooled you can easily push 12s with the right tune and a set of headers.

the motor comes out MUCH easier from the top. trust us.
