As the title states, looking for insight on building a 1000hp capable complete engine. We all have our opinions and thoughts, and I'd like to hear them. Ideally I'd like to see a hard parts list broken into 2 sections (short block and cylinder head). Along with any notes or specific's why you recommend said parts. While this may turn into a full "dream" build lists by many members, it's nice to see the options out there as far as ideas are concerned. My build is intended for street / track use. I'm not personally looking for a fully filled 2.4 block destroked to 2.1L that'll rev to the moon. While that is an option, it's not a streetable one. I'd like to see what others would HONESTLY use.
Short Block:
6 bolt block (.020 over)
ARP main studs
Kiggly main girdle
stock (uncut) crank
Manley turbo tuff rods (150mm)
Wiseco 1400HD pistons (8.5:1 compression, pump or e85, since this is intended for street and track use)
ACL "hx" series bearings
modified oil pick up tube by Dave Rudy
straight cut oil pump gears (all oem oil pump parts)
BSE
Fluidampr
Head:
1g head (bowl work and gasket matched)
Oil port mod's 1 & 2
Manley springs and titanium retainers
GSC s2's
3g lifters
Kiggly HLA
Felpro Permatorque MLS with ARP L19's
Magnus v5 cast intake manifold
Gates or HKS kevlar timing belt
Overall I do understand that Kiggly springs and retainers would be a better choice. I also could see the cams being a little more aggressive. The thing is, being a street driven capable engine, giving up all the bottom end for peak power isn't ideal. Making 1,000hp isn't set in stone, being able to operate the engine on both the street and at the track is the most important agenda. I also understand other things fuel system, trans, t case, etc. etc. are all other area's that need attention, but were just talking the engine itself, so keep that in mind.
