i thank you guys for any info please give me a list or something as of where to get the parts for the best price like i said i only have $2500 thanks again

go to howell and check out their bottom end rebuild kits and their top end kits. Also check out the turbo nitrous section, it should have enough info to help you figgure out what you want to do.

goto for sale ads. pick up turbo kit. be happy

trust me i would but i got some stuff fucked up in my block that i have to replace

buy a sweet 1g...silver or champaign....

or a hooker

just my little opinion......

How about fixing the stuff that is wrong with your block? Seems like the obvious choice.

you would think so. i mean, youll end up fucking it up again as you use the nitrous more and more so why not just fix the problem while you have the money to?

for the thread starter - looks like you're in the right direction with the rebuild if you're not looking for turbo. most people will tell you that Weisco pistons are not worthy. and like posted of above, look into Howell if you want to go the easier way with a drop in motor.

and i was wondering, how do you like the PG LSD?

Hey here's what I'd do, either buy a shortblock and save more money for the bad ass head, or fix whatever is leaking or is wrong with the bottom end and buy a bad ass head set up. If you want power now, go with the head components, and make sure the bottom end is going to last until you have enough money for a shortblock. Or if you just want the car to be stronger in a more practical approrach and not gain as much power, get the shortblock from howell or rebuild the shit out of your stock block. I just did my head. Port and polish, Crower stage 2 cams, Crane Cam gears, Crower Valve spring and titanium retainers, ARP Headstuds, Rev standard size racing valves, SBI Rocker and Lashers, AFX UDP, Ported and polished intake manifold, 60mm throttle body, AEM CAI. This will probably be over Your $2500, but I ported and polished all of my stuff. Saved tons of money!, but go with the things that are harder to do first, like head components, you have to take out the head to port and polish it, put cams in it, and so on. You don't have to take the head off to put a Cold air intake or an UDP on it though. So get you priorities. I'm going to buy the 2.2 shortblock after winter because I enjoy taking my car apart. (Bullshit) But you don't get any faster looking at car parts do you.

well i'll start off by thanking you guys for the smart ass remarks so now
im looking at the top end kit from howell with the 0016 cams or the 0018 cams not sure yet as far as what was messed up in my block was rod berings i also gonna rebuild the block trying to pick the parts if im gonna go with the stock rebuild kit or the kit with the JE pistons and eagle rods if i go with this kit i'll get the 10:5 pistons mosty trying you find out what else im gonna have to get to make it run right?
oh by the way it's went up to $3000

spend that extra 500 on an exhaust system. spray + mad air from cams + stock exhaust = slow

also, you're gonna have machine work costs as well as assembly costs.
