Hey Everyone. I have a '97 Avenger with the 420a 2.0 and a 5speed. The car has 172,000 on it and shows. The body has been redone last year, bodykit and fresh paint. Now this summer i would like to make it go along with the show. I plan on an NA build for simplicity and less to worry about later down the road. Anyways i visited a site called Modern Performance Racing Products and they have a nice all around bottom end rebuild kit. I would like to get the 10.5:1 compression pistons. Is this a wise choice. Im not looking for huge power. Just in the 230whp range. Umm I was also lokking at there topend rebuild kit but personally think that is a little high. I planned on the cams though and lifters, etc. along with an entire gasket kit. Any suggestions are welcome as I am new to an engine rebuild. I plan on having the block acid rinsed and bored .20 over and then have an engine technician assemble it because i dont trust myself with it. Are there any other things i need? Like fuel upgrade? I wanted to get the engine together and run it for awhile as is and then upgrade the exhaust and intake. What would be a good diameter tb for my build? thanks in advance
