has anyone built up a miniblower engine

Time to start building the engine for our race car itll see light street duty, the parts i have so far is a stock nickel 4 bolt block with stock 192 heads. the blower is a 174 i believe, it is a weiand havent really taken it apart yet, would like to run this mainly on regular or 89 for street and 91 when racing. so compression will be low im thinking 8.5.1 or there abouts, this is a budget build so nothing to exotic. im thinking about keeping the stock heads and giving it 202 valves. what kind of stick should i put in. i am thinking about stroking it to a 383/385 with cleanup. what kind of crank should i get and does have to be forged same with the pistons.

if your going with a more street motor than race either a scat or eagle rotating assembly will be fine. if you run high boost or high rpms then you need to step up the bottom end to better parts. you could get away with a cast crank scat rods that run around 300 a set and a forged set of trw's or srp pistons. for a cam recomendation best is to call your favorite cam co for a recomendation.

scat cast crank, i beam rods forged pistons you should be fine. i built a 383 last year for a freind with a scat cast crank and i beam rods but with nice je pistons and it handles a 200 shot of nitrous no problems as of yet, car went 10.62 at 129 last time out, so for what your trying to do theres no need to go high dollar on the bottom end
