    Looks good. What pistons are you going to run? Just make sure theyll clear the 2.02 valves and are pump gas friendly.

    Have you ever used the Patriot Fredom Series 185s before, or do you know someone who has? I've heard good things bbout them, but I don't know anyone personally who uses them.

    It all sounds great, also make sure you put a good radiator and fan to cool it down because it looks like it's going to be a hot engine. :D

    Ton of questions for ya.

    Street car?
    Trans rebuild?
    Rods?
    What fasteners in the bottom end?
    What headers?
    What do you expect from your car?
    Ok that's enough for now

    Sorry Stormtrooper, one more question and then I'll put my .02 in.

    By the way, nice, I love to see people take a older car and make something of it.

    Do you think with what you have planned you will be happy with the results?

    Yes I think I will be happy, I don't want blinding HP, But for sure a strong engine, In other words I want it to sound off and get a move on when ordered to, lol

    Im just hoping I picked the right combo on the engine! Thats kinda why I was asking cause Ive been around a lot of builds but never did one myself! And I respect other opinions as I DO NOT know it all by any means, lol
