well u definetly have to take the motor our and get everything machined.

U dont have to upgrade if u dont have the money. stock motor holds about 450 so .

Depending on what mods u have if u dont plan to make more then 300 or so i would not even bother upgrading anything


new rings, new barings, machine everythin new hg, lower end gasket kid and ull save ur ass a whole shti load of money.

well my future plans are to push as much power out of this car as possible

Be sure you run a penny across the crank journals and make sure it's not leaving any copper behind - getting them mic'd to check specs would be good too. When you reassemble with new bearings (main & rod), be sure to plastigauge everything and make sure the tolerances are within spec.
The block is probably ok, I wouldn't have it machined if it were me.

[GalantGst]

it depends on the shops u goto.

If i were u i would go on the nj.dsm.org forum post up what happend and if u have a garage as soem one to come help u and u give them some money im sure they will.
