[QUOTE="RainyP71, post: 16999910, member: 172042"] Hello, Looking for advice to finally put together a short block. I have been acquiring parts for a long time now for an all out Aluminator block build, but figured before I go building a high dollar engine, it would be best to cut my teeth on something more budget friendly to avoid the heartache of destroying much more expensive parts on my first go round if things go awry. Currently these are the parts I am planning on using. I don't have a hp goal, just looking for a good and reliable NA pump gas 4v setup to build out of a hodge-podge of left over parts I have acquired over the years while gathering parts for a bigger build. Figured id start with the short block. I have multiple sets of heads I could use, but I think I want to go with a set of 99 cobra heads I have laying around with 96-98 intake cams, Mach 1 intake, accufab tb, 47lb/hr ford racing injectors m-9593-lu47 Short block: 03/04 cobra iron block, currently at 20 over with scuffed bores, hoping a 10 thou cleanup will make it usable. 2006 3v STD/STD cast steel crank Brand new set of CR3Z-6200-B "boss" coyote connecting rods ATI balancer ARP main studs I have both a ford performance high volume OR Melling M360HV I could use. Ford performance 4v timing kit, I also have TFS billet crank gears and L&M secondary gears. I need advice on selecting pistons for compression ratio and bearings. I was planning on going with 1-FX 4032 alloy DSS racing pistons because that is the price point I am looking for and I do not plan on needing the benefits of 2618 alloy. Any guidance would be appreciated, thanks in advance. Robert [/QUOTE]
