My engine seized up after a shop forgot to add oil after draining it for an oil change, so I've decided to replace it with a MMR Boss 302 long block. I will reuse my stock Eaton and stock pullies and whatever else I can, and eventually will port and pulley them. I have listed the options below that I can choose to go with this engine. Which options should I go for and why? I don't race but I do show. Considering my original engine was putting out 432/389 rwhp/rwtq, how much do you think this upgrade would put out?
This first group is a no brainer, I think, so I would start with these options...
Upgrade to Stage 3 Ported Heads*** +$999
MMR windage tray and hardware kit (+15HP) + 129.99
...what additional options (if any)?
Add Comp cams Stage1-3 for $1149.99
Add all timing chains, lifters, rockers,
Tensioners and assemble, and time cams +$599**************
Upgrade to Stainless Steel Valves* +$369.99
Upgrade to Comp Valve Springs (required for High RPM/ non-factory cams)+369.99
Upgrade to MMR Street/Racing Oil pump* +$99
Add MMR 7qrt Street/Racing Oil Pan ** +$229
Add ARP Main Studs* (recommended for 600+HP) +$169
Upgrade to MMR block side bolts (recommended for 500+ HP) +$44.99
Upgrade to ARP 2000 Rod bolts ** +$99
Coated Pistons (ceramic dome/teflon skirt)* $399.99
MMR/Felpro Extreme Duty Headgaskets + $169.99
ARP Headstuds +$269.99
(removed cam & head options that don't apply)
