Need Advise On Rebuild!!!

txbkr · August 16th, 2008, 12:10 AM

'Sup fellas!

My '92 LX has reached the time for a rebuild. Now since I'm handicapped I'll have to take it to a shop. But what I'd like to know is which way would you guys go if you were in my shoes. I've got $6000.00 to spend and will be getting new heads and a cam which will cost $1600.00. That leaves $4400.00. So should I bore & stroke it at a local shop? Should I buy a short block or a long block ready to go.
Dished pistons? Flat pistons? e303, b303, custom grind, AFR 185's, Twistedwedge, RPM's, 9:1 or 10:1 compression, etc???

I'd like to keep it fun to drive in the street w/out too much effort. I'd also like to get from 350-370 rwhp. It'll be N/A.

Really appreciate the help.

Pete

Talk to Woody. Look into a complete long block since you have the $$$

+1 on talking to woody but I dont know if you need a whole long block I think your goals should be pretty easily attainable with your stock block a 347 rotating assembly, a set of trick flow heads , custom grind cam and the supporting mods (MAF, TB, CAI, fuel pump, etc.)
