Message: [QUOTE="TARM, post: 141915, member: 578"] I put this in the turbo thread where you postedabout turbine housing but I decided to paste it here where it belongs to keep things organized. You do not have enough funds for a proper build so itill either take a longer time or you would have to make compromises. My suggestion that should work well for ya. Pick up a long or short block. Have the heads or your current one worked and ported for max flow vel and fire ringed. Fill your block 1/2 way and slap it all together. Pick up a second sb to have as backup and for the eventual full build. Run what you have done while you are collecting al the parts and machining funds you need for the full build. Also if the worst happens and you blow the current block you have one sittting there so you will be down for the shortest period. The above will also fit with your current funds of $4k. You can find that second sb cheap if you are not pressed to rush to get it. $500 sb and $1000 for a good lb can be found. The first one may cost a bit more as you likely want it sooner rather than later. But you still should be good for getting the rest done on budget. Then you have your heads and fire rings done and can be moved to whatever block. Anyway that to me is a good way and likely a best comprise to get you what you want/need. Your back up and running asap with a more rigid block and heads that flow much better and will stay put without long cure time. You have a backup sitting as cya and for the full build. You will be able to run that 4202 and 200% to full power. Even compounds if you keep the tq limited with fuel and proper wg. Then you can open it full and crank it all up on the built one. This all allows you to grow and enjoy much of it as you get it until you reach your final goal. That with very little extra waste or redundancy. [/QUOTE]
