I Think it's time for me to stop messing around! Let's try new motor?

As some of you know, I put my turbo on and have been having problems with head gaskets. After contemplating selling it, I decided to build a fresh stock motor. So I just wanted to let you guys know and hopefully get some feedback. I will keep updating the thread as I get into it. I'm not sure how long it will take or how much it will cost. I would really like to do a 347 stroker with some afr 185cc heads but I don't have that much money to sling. Just looking for a budget build so I can get this thing back on the road!

Are you done w/ the turbo ?

 

[Tom95gt]

No I'm going to keep the turbo

Well for a small update, I've been trying to find a cheap forged motor. I had money but I have to pay off bills. I got a set of heads, Edelbrock Performer RPM I's I think. They're at the the machine shop now getting some new valves. I think those heads with the matching intake should make great power with the boost. I'll probably keep the stock cam. I may have to turn down the boost. Should I go forged crank too?

Forged crank really isn't that big of a deal. Generally a cast crank can handle more than the block can.
