So heres my situation. Car is a 1g with a stock longblock. Its time for a rebuild, the engine is still good and usable just tired. Ive been researching my butt off and reading stats, and I do know I wanna go with a 2g head on a 6 bolt block. Now I need to pick my bottom end. So first, what I have collected-
On top of my 6 bolt running in my car now, I have a 4g63 block and some bottom end parts from a 2.3 stroker that siezed up badly out of a 2g. Rods and crank are junk, but I have a good set of forged stroker pistons, and a block thats freshened up and O ringed and clearanced for a 2.3. I dont wanna build a 2.3, I want RPMs, I like the appeal of a 2.1, and there is this 4g64 local to me
4G64 Mitsubishi Engine
But I dont know if this is the year and car Im wanting, it says 7 bolt, and also dont think Id have the budget to do it all since id need pretty much everything.
Im seriously considering a long rod 2.0, Since really all Id technically need is rods, and would have leftover money for upgrades. Im not going for crazy power per say, I make probably 375 now, and wanna make 500ish, daily driver with drag racing on the weekends. So basically what would you do if you were me?
