Default Cobra motor rebuild?!

I drive a 1997 cobra mustang with 150000 miles. i use nitrous and i have a blower to put on it. I was wandering for suggestions on wherter i should rebuild my engine, buy a shortblock, buy a longblock, buy a new crate motor or what should i do? i know i need forged interals to support boost from blower and nitrous. who has the best prices and the best products. i have looked at shortblocks and longblocks from dss, coast high, and sean hyland. has anyone ever dealt with these before? would it be cheaper just to buy all the parts and have the motor built myself? PLEASE HELP!!!<IMG src=smileys/smiley12.gif border="0">

Go big. Get a 427 built like a ****. Then stroke/bore it way over 500 cubes.<img border="0" src=smileys/smiley1.gif border="0">

If yo'ure after power (and I know you are, look at your mods!), get a bigger motor and work from there. Your blower, as long as it's a centrifugal, will still work, it'd just need custom brackets and modified piping.

vfast is right, you would be fine with just a simple rebuild and forged pistons, stock cam's work well with superchargers by the way. You can get a built performance motor if you want, or you can rebuild your motor and save money. My vote is unless you plan on doing some serious racing, just get a rebuild.</P>
