Frank,
What kind of cash outlay does something like that require?? If you don't
mind, of course. I'm wondering because I've been throwing the idea of a
built up motor when mine goes away. I've already started saving pennies.
Question is, know anyone who can build a serious naturally aspirated motor?
I want a .030 over 5.9 with a stroker crank (3.79 or so), but I don't even
know if MP makes such a crank with the 360 main bearing size. If not, I'll
just build it similar to yours, with the MPI manifold and normal compression.
I would and have built a couple motors, but don't like the idea of being
responsible for it if it goes boom. I'll be in Arizona at ASU or U of A by
the time I get around to this (~1.5 to 2 yrs from now), so if you or anyone
else knows someone who can do this, drop me a line!
I will be upgrading everything else (driveline, etc.) first.
Good idea/bad idea??
Brian
