[QUOTE="Lightning Struck, post: 352992, member: 8009"] Well after looking at the crazy expensive long and short block's offered by various vendors Im thinking of getting a build kit from JDM and having my engine done by my regular shop around the corner. I can get the entire kit ( rods / pistons / rings / oilpump / bearings / studs ) for 1700 with a rating of 1000hp. I would come out cheaper this way rather than paying the 4300 for a shortblock :blah2:. Now I have to decide on what route to take with my heads, there are several places that do porting on them and im thinking of having JLP do it ( they are expensive but have excellent results with them ). Cams are going to be compxe278ah.......and as for the blower im still on the hunt for a 2.3KB but if I dont find one before I get the parts for the build I may just go with the big Whipple :) Depends on how bad my feelings get hurt from the loss in weight in my wallet. :hammer: :hammer: :hammer: :hammer: Pretty much the same build that most L owners do and nets 600-700rwhp and 700+rwtq that should get me to and from LOWES or HOMEDEPOT pretty quick dont ya think :rollinglaugh: :rollinglaugh: [/QUOTE]
