I'm just trying to see how much I would be looking at if I decide to build a 331 stroker street/weekend driver. I guess I would be able to use my heads, I know I can use my intake, but I will get a custom grind cam for sure. What else from my setup will I be able to use, and what would I have to change? If someone has the time to detail tell me what things I can keep and what I will have to get as well as estimates on cost per item, that would be helpful.
What do most people do when they rebuild an engine as far as the mileage on the cluster? I guess they just keep track of what it has current and just subtract but I know it would be cool to see 0 on the cluster when starting off with the new engine.
With my old out of date tune when I had it tuned back in 04 it hit between 295-300 on the dyno, or 286-300 if I remember correctly but I don't think I had everything right and probably should have done wayyy better than that. Instead of just getting another tune now, I almost just want to deal with the car as is now and after I rebuild with whatever then I will get it tuned.
After seeing the video of the 95 GT with the 418 and the kook exhaust I might wana change my x pipe and might wana go with longtubes also. NOt sure though as I have heard that changing spark plugs are easier with the shorties. It was many yrs ago though when browsing and I read that so not sure how much more harder it is changing them with the longtubes if any.
I also hate the idea of taking parts off and just having them lying around and not sure I wana hassle with trying to sell them on the net. So not sure I will want to not just reuse my exhaust. If I can get everything I need and want done for about $3k I might just do all of those things
