My motor is ceased im taking out a loan for somewhere around 6000-8000 I want to go blown. What are my options?

taking out a loan for mods is not a good idea IMO. do you have another car you would be able to drive? paying interest on a motor sounds aweful.

my motor is blown. So im rebuilding it. And if im gonna rebuild it i wanna go big anyway. I wasnt lookin for finance advice lol.

For 8k you can get a decent new edge, be smart about this dude...I know it's not what you wanna hear, but...

everything else is brand new. The transmission tires the brakes the rear i wanna build this car not get another one. Im not worried about the finance. Im asking for suggestions to build this motor. Its gonna be closer to 8k. I wanna put a blower on it. And maybe an mmr shortblock.

are your heads ****ed? I would just Get a MMR block (to match your HP goals), and reuse your heads if possible and save yourself some money. That or buy a old GT block form a junk yard and rebuild it. I wouldn't spend 6-8grand on a motor just because I have the money for it... just get a block (or whatever parts you need minimally) and call it a day. Remember loans are evil. The bank would LOVEEEE you to spend all that money ;-)

yeah my heads cams etc are still good. Thats what im asking you guys. Im looking at the mmr block using my heads and than a kenne bell or a vortech kit. OH and im looking at closer to 8000 to 10000

yeah man well what kind of power do you want to make? Just buy a pre-assembled MMR block, 2-6k depending on the model, and then use the rest to part together a vortech kit. Whos doing the install?

98redstang

im doing the install. One more question. Can i get dished pistons put in the block instead so my compression is lower with the pi heads? And with the dished pistons can i run a bigger cam?

I'd look for a low mileage 03/04 Cobra motor. Already forged, and plenty of room to grow with.
