Hey guys,
As you all know I just bought a 98 Daytona Edition. The problem is it has 126,000 miles on it. I know these cars can run a lot more miles without problems but I want to get a build done. Problem is this car is my daily driver so long downtime isn't an option. I'm thinking of buying a block, head, maybe even a trans on the side and building them with my brother in his shop.
This wouldn't be our first project like this. We've pulled the 4G63T out of my Talon and built it, and also built a sr20det and put it in his 240sx. Those 2 engines for the most part were pretty basic. Reading the threads I've heard the L67 just plain aren't...
I may be a budget guy but even if I weren't I would prefer to do my own work because I enjoy it and get a lot more out of it.
I've read the threads about buying the manuals and stuff, and how one mistake can ruin everything. I understand that and it's even more reason why I prefer to do it myself. Also I'm pretty confident in my mechanical skills to pick something up like this and learn it.
What I'm asking though is what would be a good place to obtain the block, heads, trans??? What would be a good option block on the build and why, such as the L26 over the L67???
Any experiences with their builds would be appreciated as well???
Also what parts would be recommended??? What pistons, rods, miscallaneous parts, etc..???
Also has anyone Procharged their car??? I've been a pretty big fan of Procharging and am really curious to see how that would work on our cars.
Thanks! All advice is welcome!
