The 2v engine rebuild

So the hp bonus vs money spent doesn't lean towards going n/a. It seems like power adders are the best bang for the buck. While I am deciding which way to go (turbo, s/c, n2o), the best thing to do now is rebuild the engine to handle the new power it will have.

So, since I have no idea on which site to get the parts from and what items to start upgrading, I'm asking you guys for help on this. Seems like I should be going 'forged' correct? Where and what do I get 1st? Is it necessary to get a forged short block? Or the block is fine and start getting other things? Hopefully we get some useful info here for any1 else trying to start upgrading their 2v engines. :headbang:

i think your best bang for the buck to go forged would be to buy a short block and start from there. there are a bunch of places you can shop around - mmr, livernois, frpp, etc

do u think its a money saver to go for a long block rather than a short? since i'll prolly end up replacing those parts anyway right??

i havent seen too many places that offer a long block set up. i think frpp has a couple crate engine options. really depends on what your budget is

I have dealt with MMR and there stuff is top quality... It's not as publicized like Livernois and FRPP....

I am buying my short block from them as well! :D You will see about 40-50 HP with the heads... With the engine I am not sure what you will see besides the stock numbers... but once you add a S/C Boost until you can boost no more! LOL

^That I dont know....ESPECIALLY if your 2v is a SN95....Just the dif. in the initial car alone!
Im not thinking you can get a 3v for under 10k when you most def. can get a 2v for under 10k!

booby, I just got done installing MMR's stage II heads. :awesomework:

Before you buy the longblock, check out their stroked forged blocks. Increases displacement from 281ci to 298ci. They call it 5L even thou it doesn't hit the 302ci mark.

MMR's quility is A1. Even with the run around I got for the last month, I'll still buy that stroker shortblock.
