Just wondering what you all think I should do. I am putting back in a stock motor into my '94 and was debating on putting a "b" cam I have around and some Cobra 1.7 roller rocker or just put one or the other???

Supercharger and blown head gasket motor came out. Don't have many to build it with forged pistons right now. I have a stock motor sitting in the garage. I am putting this in for the rest of the summer, should I swap in my b cam that i have sitting there, also have the 1.7 rockers sitting there, this will cost me nothing to put in. Will the cam and rockers do anything for me or should I just leave them on the shelf!!!

why not just fix the headgasget and put a bigger pulley on the blower...wouldn't that be easier to do then swap a stock motor back in? also what would you do with the novi2000?....instead of building that cobra block with good internals just fix the head gasget and save for a DSS set up or somthing with a good block Dart or R

OR..
If youre JUST switching for the summer only, DONT mod it...just drop it back in.

BUT:
I still think the option above is better.
