i had to get a new engine cause my old one overheated cause of a bad waterpump and the head got warped

OHV POWAH!

OHV FTW. Are you doing a build at all?

Clean that baby up some!

Good Luck!

since i had bought another engine i'm going to keep the old block and all and build it up for larger amounts of boost, i just picked this engine up from a junkyard for 500 with 86000 miles on it. i'm workin slowly cause i dont want to miss anything and i'll be cleaning up the engine bay and engine when i get it finished

Our motors stock are pretty stout. There have been some that have pushed 15psi through the stock block and it lasted fort a little while before popping. I ran 10psi consistently in Texas humididty and it was just fine. Its our heads that are the weak link not the bottom end. Our crappy heads don't flow for sh*! and with a nice port job can really give you a boost in power.

thanks for the info, i guess i'll start building that spare head i got then, i dont know if i should use it or not though. considering it was shaved because it got to hot and warped but i'm not sure how much it got shaved.

I still say a well-tuned LN2 can hold 300bhp in stock form.

I think thats going to be my next project 300hp or bust. Oh how I love our motors.

here's some updates, i got the intercooler installed, and i got the engine put in today. i'm starting to put the harness back in and wire everything up, bout all i have left to do is alternator and bracket, ac compressor, oil, coolant and charge pipes and probably a couple small things here and there.

Disconnect all the lines and unbolt the compressor and its mount from the block. Should be no more than 4 bolts.

well it's just about finished, all i have left is the belt, coolant, finish installing the intercooler piping. also i cant seem to find where the o2 sensor up front plugs in. it's been a year and a half since i've messed with the car

Run your car, not your mouth

i was wondering what kinda plugs the rest of you 2200 guys are running. I'm not sure if i should go with 1 or 2 steps colder i searched but i couldnt find anything. It seems like most are gapping at .30 or .35 thats all i know
