I have an engine in my garage that I'm building into something decent. Either way, I'd probably get the deck checked and the crankshaft checked and honed if needed. I know I can just replace the pistons and rings, but is there such thing as a cheap stroker kit that will be able to withstand nitrous or should I just save the money and get myself a good set of pistons?
Also, I've been looking while I work [I work at an auto-parts store] and there are so many different sizes for things that I'm going nuts because I fear that it won't all fit together.
Here are my [current] plans:
Heads: GT40 ported.
Intake: GT40 or Cobra, also ported and matched to the heads.
Camshaft: Undecided...Suggestions?
Other: 75mm throttle body, LT headers, 100 shot of dry nitrous, 24lb injectors, lightning MAF, tweecer, ARP bolts.
As far as springs, rocker arms, and pushrods I'll probably go with crane. I was looking at 1.7 arms, but really see no difference between 1.7 and 1.6 besides the additional stress it puts on the springs, would it make enough difference to really notice?
Am I on the right track guys? I'm on a tight budget and any help is more than appreciated.. I know tons of you guys have done this before...Help a beginner out here? it's my first time doing someting like this and I wanna do it right, and it to be reliable.
Thanks.
