Bought a car for the engine from a friend, later found the bottom of the motor to be basically junk.
I have a nice set of PI heads still and all the parts to use 2v so I would like to stick with that. Please keep the "just go 4v" comments to a minimum.
I will need a rotating assembly and my power goals allow for a stock shortblock. That being said, there is a complete 4v teksid motor for sale near me for 500 bucks. Should I buy that and use the shortblock or should I buy a 5.4 and use the shortblock from that? I want my build to be different than the usual build even if it means I don't gain in more HP than the "normal" routes. Just looking to set aside the normal PI swapped NPI car since I now am being forced into buying another shortblock. Hypothetically I could use the NPI shortblock that is in my car but I'd like to have a complete motor sitting nearby "just incase"
Car is not daily driven. Engine build budget is roughly 2500 and I will need cams.
Thanks for any advice. I came back here because the SN95 groups on facebook are cancer.
