Just sorta planning at the moment, will be a couple months before I pull the trigger. I figure I am down for this season anyway. I don't plan on changing my combination much, will keep the 5858, heads, cam if still good. Will do smart maintenance stuff like new fuel and alky pumps, clean flow injectors, ARP hardware ....
Short Block (nothing fancy):
Good stock block, properly checked and machined.
SCAT internal balance forged crank (I know rotating assembly balance is required, but will this drop in dimensionally i.e. no additional machining required?)
Stock reconditioned rods(not the ones in the pictures
)
Speed pro forged pistons
TA balencer
Neutral balance flywheel
I know there is more to it, just outlining the basics.
Any good reason not to do the above?
I was quite content with the way the car ran, so just looking to do a smart, solid rebuild without overkill.
I know guys here have taken the stock crank a lot farther than I did, but my experiment is over in that area.
Thanks for the comments and interest so far.
