[QUOTE="HISSMAN, post: 1574280, member: 9703"] I beam rods can handle more, but if you are staying under 700 HP the 03/04 cobra Manley rods should be just fine. They are H-Beam, and are about half the price of a good I-beam. I would also look into a good Forged piston like JE. Look for a set with about a 17cc dish. These will help with the high boost on a daily driver. If you go with these items there is no reason your bottom end should not last. But the block is the big "?". You may want to see if you can find a Teksid block somewhere just for insurance. It would be priced anywhere from $800-$1200. If you are going to break everything down anyways you might as well save up and build one to last. You can still probably sell your 01 block for around $400-$600 and help cover some of the cost. You will be approaching the known limits of the WAP 01 block, so it will be a gamble, and if that block splits it will most likely destroy everything in it. Having said that it may be cheaper for you to just sell your engine as is, and buy a longblock and stick a blower on it. You would really save on labor pay unless you are able to assemble the engine yourself. Hope this helps a little. [/QUOTE]
