I have been making list of everything I need to stat again with the engine build. Turns out there are a lot of gaskets and seals, plus various other bits and bobs needed, not just the rotating assembly.
I decided, that instead of going crazy with the horse power, I would build a decent road spec, without reinforcing the block. I also read up a bit regarding the money involved to cross over the dark side of 500BHP starts to increase rapidly on an increasing scale, quicker than the power returns. Im sure long term reliability can also be said to decrease on a similar sliding scale.
Anyway, I have purchased the first set of parts needed to get the bottom end built and overhaul the heads myself.
Once the parts have been used, I can then get things like head gaskets, timing belt and other finishing touches. Its worth remembering that you have to spend serious money on drivetrain components like clutch and flywheel too. The price of these is also phenomenal when you demand that they expect them to take 600ish HP.
Anyway, Once the parts are delivered and I finish work, there will be several posts to keep the blog updated on a daily basis, including plenty of pics as I build the block.
Im going for a nice, reliable 400 BHP, with similar torque.
