I might be missing some stuff but thats all that i know of for now related to the engine i do have some suspension as well. Things still needed saving up for set of heads and built trans and a wideband plus a dyno.
So the reason for this thread is i want to get opinions on what would be best to run block wise a L36 that is in my 40th right now or a L67?
My question being is it worth it to go with a higher compression block?
Is the gas mileage and Hp noticeable over a L67?
My worry is due to the high compression and non forged internals that it will chip/blow up pretty damn easy with a SC/Cam setup. Keep in mind its my DD and i drive a lot so i really dont like my gas mileage going down too much even though i might make the jump on e-85 at one point. just waiting for more stations. for now 91 oct..
Any help is appreciated i just want it running great and smooth and not worry about chipping a piston going to disneyland or zoo while taking the gf or something lol
