knocking on cold start

FYI, stock bottom ends hold up to and past 500 HP. you really think your gonna make that much hp on a sc set up? your not..... just saying. 350 ish is about the max

turbo will hit 4 to 500 easy tho. and still dont need a built bottom end. and then your looking at a 3 grand plus tranny to hold that power with out grenading the tranny on the first pull.

That i didn't know. I thought the bottoms has to be different. What if I bore the walls out by 20 thousanths. would that make any difference in the transmission build?

 

[Scottydoggs]

you bore it and there goes 2 grand down the crapper. aka full rebuild with new pistons and all. f that crap. buy a used engine, mod it, drop it in.


i found a l36, thats a na engine, ported l67 heads, roller rockers, injectors, ported lim with a fsic on a 3.2 pulley, car pulls like a monster now.

its been proven over and over rebuilding these engines is not needed or worth it in any shape or form, unless you got money to burn, then have at it. dont ya think if you blew it up and it only cost you 3 or 400 to replace the short block vs 2000 every time it blows up?

Preach Scotty


He's right money down the drain having machine work done on the block for a 200 mile motor. Grab a good used motor from the JY or lkq etc shouldn't run no more then $600-800 if that, hell I had a L26 shipped from RI with 15k on it to work for around $600, then regasketed and topswapped it,

Power is power, boring cylinders and make it larger won't make any difference on if the transmission will hold together better.

Anything over a 3.4 pulley setup or 230-250 whp is always on the fine line of breaking the transmission. Sure people have made more power on the stock transmission but they are for sure more at risk of it breaking.
