Hello again George,
I am on just about to order a replacement engine.
You said I should state by horsepower goals, powerband, driveability, engine budget.
Some general ideas
For Horsepower: about 400-425 hp
Powerband: smooth gradually increasing hp curve with as wide and flat as possible torque curve.
Driveability: good idle at 600-800 rpm, redline at 6500 to 7000 rpm. smooth throttle response.
engine budget around 5 to 7K.
As I said a good street engine with enough performance for once in a while SCCA race events.
I was thinking of a stroker, 4 bolt mains, rebuild my stock 4V CChambers, hydraulic lifters, roller rockers with mininum over-bore (just enough to true out the cylinders).
What specific parts do you recommend?
eg. pistons, rings, crank, conrods, roller rockers, camshaft, head work etc.
Thanks
P.S. can I e-mail you or call you off line? andriykoisg@yahoo.ca
