there is the link to the internals, i am wanting to keep the block to a 355 so nothing to radical, but i want all forged to handle a fair amount of nitrous, let me know what you guys think about that kit or any other forged kits
My second question is heads, i wanted darts but after talking to many people it seems as if i can get a cheaper brand for alot cheaper and still get the same performance..Now the specs for the block are posted up above..i need to know what valve size,exaust cc, etc would work best for tthis set up
I have a Crosswind Intake made by perfessional products (rpm air gap clone) and a holley street avenger 670 carb, headman headers, and thats all i can think of for now
Last i have a question about ignitions i was wanting to go with the msd 6a because i have heard it is a great ignition for handling nitrous..but if anyone has any suggestions on anything PLEASE POST!!

U didnt say anything about rod length but i would go with 6.0" rod for a better rod length to stroke ratio. If ur going to buy a crank why not go ahead and buy the 3.75" stroke? For an oil pump go with a stock one. For a cam just call comp. As for heads if you want a great head get some afr's. If you dont want to spend a lot of money on heads go with some vortecs. lose the holley advenger and go with a 750 hp or something of the equivelent. Its hard to say to much though bc you did not say what you wanted out of it.
