A few 6 bolt questions!

Well, his power goals *are* dependant on money but at the same time he doesnt want to get overly laggy or run nitrous so making BIG power is kind of out of the question either way. Im guessing that all the power he will ever make is 500whp max.

I must say that it ISNT my descision to cheap out on the short block. If it were me I would go Eagle/Wiseco or similar as I havent ever heard of Eagles breaking. He still doesnt know what he wants to do so its not my descision.

With that said, as I dont want him to have too crappy of a motor, what would you guys recommend, particularly shane, raptor, and people that have been into this a bit longer. Should he just have his car not run for quite a while and save for full forged or should he just do 1g/2g?

I am simply the one giving him the info and I will be the one actually building the short block for the most part.

Whats wrong with what he has now?

Umm, it had shit compression, and when we tore it down there was noticable not right wear on the cylinder walls, no crosshatch marks what so ever. Sure we could just break the glaze on the cylinder walls and do a re ring kit but that is the most ghetto way to do things. Improper clearances, horrible cylinder straitness, ect... and that is not the way to build a motor. His pistons are also chipped around the outsides so those are definitely not going back in.

Pretty much the problem is that it should go .020 over and 2g pistons are damn near the same price as forged pistons. Dont know what to do.

Have him wait a few months, save the money and do the shortblock right. At least then he won't have the fear of parts failure to deal with if he starts making respectable power. He will be happy he waited after the time has passed, it's patience that is the hard part.

Alright, sounds good.

Thanks for the help.
