alright well im gonna start shoppin around and figure out exactly what i wanna get for my rebuild, then whenever i get the money start buyin..but i was looking at howell's bottom rebuild kits, anybody know anything about them..like if there good or if i should just still buy each thing seperately myself..i wanna do wahtever's gonna make my engine the strongest b/c my goal is to have a 400-500 horsepower car....so what does anybody have that they like...im tryin to figure out the best product for each internal part of the engine...sooo anyhting ya got, throw some ideas at me

howell rebuild kits arnt that bad. prolly the best deal your gonna find, unless you get the hook up somewhere else.

well i want my engine to be like completely strong...i want it to at least hold stage 4 or so turbo..dont know if i'll ever get there or not but i wanna make sure its gonna be strong enough to hold like 500 horses at least just to make sure...anybody know what the howell kits can hold?

I think if you buy the high end Hahn turbo kit (stage V or something like that) It comes with the internals you need, but I'm not sure.

the howell kit shoudl hold 500hp. myabe a little less, but its hard to get that high of hp without other mods also.

Does anyone have 500hp on the 420a???

Start slowly and work your way up the HP ladder. It takes lots of fuel management and tuning to even try and get to 350...

ya hahn has around 500. other have gone in the 400's. its not hard once you get a big turbo. im still running the sfmu and 440's and have around 350.

I have the Howell bottom end kit, well the top end kit aswell. Im am really happy with the bottom end kit except for one the thing, the rings!!! They are Total Seal rings, and because of those rings I pulled my motor aprt this weekend to rering it because its burning oil. But every user might have a different experience with them. Back to your main question. Yes, I would recommend the Howell lower end kit. Just make sure the rings you get arent the "2nd ring gapless" set!! Good luck

The new Eagle Rods are good to 1000 hp, they changed the bolts in them, and widened the bottom beam.

HRC Stage II Turbo

i bought my bottom end from dynoflo. They sell a lot of bottoem and top end products for the 420a. I paid 764 for je pistons and eagle rods and a copper head gasket. I went with eagle because of them changing the bolts. I want to autozone for all my felpro gaskets in the long run i saved about two hundred bucks to howells bottom end kit. with that kit you also get je chromoly rings which ive been told are better than plasmamoly or total seal. Ive heard a lot of bad things about total seal.

i have some rebuild parts your looking for. find my post in the FS/WTB section. or PM/e-mail/IM me.
