I've got a 73 17. and a 2.0. I can't afford a Raby 2270 now but until then I want the best bang I can get for the buck. A stock engine won't work for me. What is the cheapest way to upgrade without breaking the bank? Which block do I start with? I can toss about $2,000 at it. Can I build a stroker for that kind of money? Would I be better to build a small displacement rever? What p/c's do I go with? Thanks in advance guys.

Talk to Jake, ever now and then some body backs out of a engine build. Jake
will sell that engine for the remainer of the balance on that engine. But your money in the bank and keep adding to it soon you will have enought to get your dream engine. |
