How long does it usually run a shop to rebuild and engine (oversize .020 pistons)and do a valve job (port, pollish, SS valves, springs, cams, retainers, etc..) Ive been thinkin it may be easier just to buy a used head and have the work done before its put on, but will there be more labor involved with having a used block built and swapped in?? I really dont want my car to be sent away for weeks at a time!
Im leaning toward the idea of havin the motor built and turboed at nearly the same time so i can start off with a bigger turbo so I can boost as much as I want! This of course after some tranny work.
PS with a crap load of head work like valve springs, retainers, lifters, rockers, and cams what should be a safe readline for the engine??? Is it possible to get up to 9k??

Is it just the limiter that keeps the revs low or is there more to it? If its just the limiter I can use A/M parts to change it after I get the head work done
BTW heres roughly what I have planned for my car: (prolly left some stuff out)
HEAD: Cams, SS Valves, Cam Gears, new valve springs, new retainers, Rocker/lifter upgrades, port/polish Block: low compression JE pistons, crower rods, etc.
Turbo: HRC stage 4 or 5 with 20G blitz dual solenic BC
Exhaust: 3" turbo back
Intake: Venom manifold (if i can get one) bored tb
