Default Re: Best bang for the buck motor give your ideas

Here's my BUDGET setup that I'm building.

Hone/balance w/my stock piston = $450
FM Rings/bearings = $250
Assembly = $300
Rod bolts = $70
Total = $1070

Got the pump,gaskets and head bolts for free and I'll re-use my duel roller chain over again

So,I have $1100 bucks into the shortblock.I think this will be plenty strong for a N/A setup shifting at 6700.

I should have the Cartek S2X (REV2) heads done by the time the shortblocks ready.

I'll be back

Mike anything is possible, I was going to sell but the deal is on hold so I am thinking of Just keeping the car and paying it off in the next 5 months or so, don't owe that much on the car. I can still buy the Z but might wait a little longer say 3 months or so then the 04 will be out and a good deal could be had on the 02's

Wonder who your talking about Jet? I might try a 150 shot? I guess I will find out soon enough and just might step it up to 200...Speaking of weight reduction, this guy needs to take off another 200 lbs...Where did that weight reduction list go????

Yes the car will be gutted, I have a friend here that runs 10:80 on a forged 346 car weight is 3300 with him in the car, so I have just been researching on if I should go with a bigger motor if it is worth the extra money
