hey guys, i've got my brothers svo motor in my garage now and is going for a rebuild. i got a few questions. he wants decent power from this car, its mostly a street car and sometimes sees track time. i was figuring since its a 2.3t that 300-325 wheel hp would be a good round number. question 1- what can the stock block and crank handle. 2- stroker? whats good, is it worth it? 3, he wants a high revving motor 8000 range...what kind of valve springs and followers are you guys using. i n ever tried working on a 2.3, so this is all new to me. i've only built 5.0's. thanks for your help.
