So Teksid blocks are pretty easy to come by in the Chicagoland Area on FB Marketplace. I'm likely going to pick one up this winter, and have the block gone through by a local machine shop. I would like to add forged rods and pistons, and then refresh the heads and use my crank and cams. This will be the largest project I've ever tackled, and I would love help from all of you. Probably run a 3.4 pulley on the P1-SC until I can upgrade down the road to a D1-SC/D1X... shooting for 550-600hp.
I would love your help getting started by assisting me in putting together a "shopping" list of what I'm going to need to do this. What ARP bolts/studs, oil pump, recommended gaskets, rods, pistons, etc. I'd like to start stockpiling this stuff over time, so that it's not such a financial hit all at once. I don't have the money to have the engine shop completely assemble the engine, so once I get the shortblock, I'll need help going through the assembly process at that point.
Just want to say thanks in advance, the car wouldn't be running as well as it currently is without the help everyone has provided.
