Ok, im getting ready to build my engine for turbo, would it be easier to buy seperate 420a engine on the side and build it or just build the one in my car.... questions about the block... when i rebuild it do i just get high performance pistons/rods, and should i resleeve it? Do i need to do any work to my head or can i just leave it stock? Need a lot of questions answered but i want to be able to run street 7psi and when i race 18-20. Would my block be strong enough for that or no? thinking JE pistons - rngs / Eagle Rods. And would it be a good idea to bore out the block to .4 or .6 over? or .2? not sure looking for some feedback get back to me.

if you want to drive the car while you buld the motor, then buy another block to work on. get a howell bottom end rebuild kit. you don't sleeve our motors.. what, do you think you drive a honda? the head was designed by lotus, so you don't need to touch it really.. just bore it out the motor .20 over.

The Howell rebuild kit comes with total seal rings and not JE's. If you are using it with a turbo, I would highly recommend that you stay away from gapless rings.

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.
If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good. If you want it cheap and good, it's not going to be fast. If you want it good and fast, it's not going to be cheap.
