420a block and head. performance questions.

[talon1616]

Alright well i have a few questions.

First, if i buy a rebuilt short block (.020 oversize) and a head with stage one porting would it be alright to leave the pistons that are in it if i put in new camshafts. so basically i want to buy the block and head and put different cams in it and put it in the car. how would it run do you think. Is there anything else i should do to or will it run good with just that.

Second, With this setup that i just described you would it be fine if i got a turbo in the future. Would it be fine with 5-10 pounds of boost.

Last thing i need to say is, that i am putting the links of the stuff belowe. if you have any suggestions or a better way i should set it up please let me know. Or pm me so we can talk about this so i can get everything figured out. Thanks alot guys. and also what cams should i get. I think the one's from dsmgraveyard.

Everything looks good to me.
Just one thing if you are planning on going turbo in the future
I woulnd't recommend using those "Rods Aline Honed and Reconditioned"
Maybe the pistons, but if you are changing the rods might as well do the pistons
for something strong.
Like eagle rods and wiseco pistons.
And am pretty sure you will be good.
Don't forget the cometic gasket and arp studs.

I have not personally used the obx cams, but planning on doing it
so if you do use those before i do, post a video of how it would sound.

Good luck, ANd have fun doing it.

^^^ i agree... uprgrade to rods/ and pistons that are known to handle boost for days...
