hey guys
unfortunately my motor blew tonight. i press gas pedal and it doesn't even move (i know it's not trans. cuz engine doesn't rev at all and my trans was JUST pro-built)...
not the end of the world I wanna rebuild my engine anyways.
What should I expect for price to rebuild?
I'm looking to get about 300hp n/a out of the engine setup.... then i'm going to top it off with a 100hp shot of nitrous.

So i assume pistons are the big factor in the rebuild process with nitrous? I know it's all important and i'm going to be doing a LOT of research.... but what would you guys do in my position? I wanna spend about $2 000 rebuilding the engine and about $1 000 to port/polish heads.... and about $500 for a cam kit... basically i want to keep engine under $3 500... i think i can get at LEAST 300hp with that right?

thanks for ANY advice guys

man, for 3500 buks you can have a bright spanking new crate engine shipped to your door, with all warranties and massive power, i think you should consider it.
that will be "just bolt on and go smoke muswangs"

GM sells the 350 HO for $2100. 330 hp, 380 ft. lbs. Not a bad choice for someone who can't build their own. Plus, they have a 1 year/12000 mile warranty and are very simple to upgrade.

 

If you're interested in building your own the pistons really aren't the major price factor

Depends on quality of course, but if you've got the block crank and rods you can go with pistons, rings, bearings, gaskets, and a new set of heads for $1,500-$2,000 and top 300hp easy

Does this statement mean that your engine still runs and that your throttle does not work?

Doh! Double post.

But I will take the time to ask a non-tech question in this free space so cordially provided to me. HOW in the world do I make the damn font smaller for this bloody page??

Find internet options on your toolbar, under Tools possibly. You may be able to change the default font sizes there. I remember doing it before on an old computer, but I can't find it with windows xp. This may be a dumb question, but is your resolution higher than 800x600?

 

800x600, and my font and size are Ariel 10pt. The only trouble I have is with this board and NEThirdgen. Weird.
