And most do not come with a warranty. The ones that do come with a 30 day warranty are around $800 or more.

I will take the used motor to a machine shop and have it rebuilt before I throw it in. For sure. I am already dead set on doing the 2.3 oil pump swap. The shop I talked to is willing to do it, and for sure, I will be using Clevette 77 main and rod bearings.I will also get some eagle rods.

I am just confused on the pistons, I know I really want to go with forged. Right now Im thinking that I will custom order some weisco 10:1 pistons. I only really plan on going with the GM Supercharger (for simplicity) and a smaller pulley for about 7-8PSI.

How does all of this sound so far? Am I on the right track?

Ive also got a set of secret cams I will throw in it during the rebuild.

Sounds like a ton of money
