Alright so I have decided to build me a motor from the block up (I know it would probably be more cost effective to just buy a crate motor but I really enjoy working on things so I want to build my own). I have read all over and have come to the conclusion that the teskid (teksid?) block is my best option. I am going to go with a forged rotating assembly (I would like to supercharge it). I get a little confused when it comes to heads, camshafts, and intakes. From what I have read about camshafts I would want to go with probably a stage 2 blower cam from Cushman I believe the brand was (if this is not a great brand I am open to others). As far as heads, would a set of PI heads work fine for me? I would eventually like to supercharge it but probably not right off the bat. And finally what is a good intake manifold? PI again or something aftermarket? I would probably be looking to get around 400-500rwhp but it would also be a daily driver.
My final question is would I have to change my stock transmission and if so what is a good upgrade for this? And I want to do 4.10 gears would that be enough upgrade to the rear end or is there more I would have to do with that?
I appreciate all of your guy's input.
