Re: Stage 3 heads yea thats what i want to do im gona get the stock block bored out a lunati 4 inch crank and custom pistons with the 4.125 inch bore stage 3 heads no idea what kind of cam (a custom one just dont know the specs i want) i might have someone else go through the trouble of putting that holley intake on and porting it to go with the heads. so thats pretty much it besides building everything up to support it when its all said and done how much do you think the engine will run with just parts and no labor.
