Default boom!!!

so yesterday my stock bottom end decided to let go
so now im in a pickle on what to do.
thinking of doing a 370ci iron block by tsp. spraying a 250-300 shot through 2 kits.
how do the 370's respond with spray???
im gonna be running heavily ported 243 head, which cam do you suggest, i was thinking ms4 cam. would i need to fly cut the pistons?
im thinking +12 dome pistons with 62cc heads to bump the compression up...
what will my final compression be?
and what is a reluctor wheel?
here is a link to the motor.
and suggestions what my options??
see link below....

Nitrous loves compression! A built motor will handle it unless you get greedy

Like camscam stated, he needs to figure out why his stock bottom end let go before spending $$$$ on a new motor. It'll happen AGAIN if he doesn't.

370's work great. we have a few running around. can put a hellova good nitrous piston on the stock stroke. Spend the time to research guys running small cubes and big nitrous and get a good game plan(whole car) if you throw somehting togeather you will be making this post again...... And the tune is at fault probably 90% of the time.
