no parts have been ordered yet. the engine is still being torn apart and cleaned up. originally i wanted to do this as cheap as possible and gain as much power as possible. After talking to everyone on here and the machinist i decided that cheapest isnt always best. i woulkd rather spend the money now when the engine is apart than have to do it again later. i didnt really ahve the budget to do it all right now but i worked ouat a deal with the machinist. I told him i dont need the engine foar a few months and that there is no hurry. this will give me time to save some money and he can work on high priority jobs in the meantime. all in all i think rebuilding the whole engine is the better way to go.
Sounds like a smart way to go, sort of a lay a way for engines...
The cylinder head choice should be at the top of the wish list as far as performance capabilities, the wrong heads for the application can make or break a package...They also need to be matched to the rest of the components as far as optimum torque/hp rpm numbers....
Start shopping for boat specific parts now, there are some unbelievable deals out there right now...
