The blow by is getting worse by the day. Its time to drop a shortblock in the car or build what I have.
Help me out with my new setup please.
Should I buy a completed shortblock? Where would you buy it from, I want to stay with the aluminum block.
Should I have mine machined and built? What parts are needed besides pistons, rods, rings?
I am just trying to get as detailed of a list as possible before I really start shopping.
Also FYI, the car will be street driven DAILY when its nice out, I already have an S-Trim on it and my goal eventually will be to make around 600 at the wheels a little down the road. For now I want to keep my current fuel set up and everything but build the bottom end so its reliable right now and ready for what I want to throw at it in the future.
Also, I was always scared to do this on previous cars because of the cam setup, do you still need to degree in the stock cams when putting them back in?
