Rebuild advice needed This last Saturday, my motor fried while doing an N2O run at Byron dragway. I will find out what caused it once it's torn down but in the interim, I have to think of rebuilding.
My initial thought is if the block is OK, rebuild it using forged internals including a 38x crank. If I choose this option, there are a few questions:
1. how will the PP Stage II heads match the configuration?
2. will I need to upgrade the injectors?
3. How would a FM-13 cam do in this configuration?
4. A fuel pump upgrade is obvious .......
5. Being in the "bronze age" with current motor technology, am I missing something?
6. or just screw it, go with a 347 forged short block and keep the bolt-ons
Thanks in advance
