k so I've pulled the motor out and am gonna do a budget build. I'm gonna stay stock rotating assembly. .30 over.
what pistons should I use, and what hci should I use remember I'm on a budget...but also wanna be able to put a shot of now one day
thanks
Carb is a bit big for a street car.
Rule of thumb for street driven cars - multiply cubic inch x 2 and add 0-50 and that is the size carb to use. The 0-50 is the fudge factor depending on what kinds of mods you have. Stock is 0, 50 is hot HCI.
Speedpro are decent budget friendly pistons. Get some with valve reliefs in them not the flat tops that came in your motor. For a time tested budget top end, get set of JY explorer heads, swap the springs out with some TFS springs, and throw in a TFS1 cam. Check the message boards and ebay as guys are always selling these heads already upgraded. I also agree, a 600-650 cfm carb is plenty. You could be around 275-280 rwhp with this.
If it's really a budget build, just buy and explorer engine, swap the cam, change the springs, sell the intake.
Since you aren't going to a stroker, i see no reason to spend a bundle building a shortblock.
What about an Eddie top end kit?with a 650 demo in sure I can get one for a good price? Either way I'm gonna go .30 over ordering somthing soon.thanks keep the suggestions coming
