I am planning to SC my car relatively soon, it keeps getting pushed back again and again... Now though one of the spark plug electrodes has blown off into the engine and I am envisioning valve/cylinder/piston damage. So depending on if the cylinders are scored very deep it may have to be bored out... What I want to do is install a SOS stage 2 with the novi 1200 and put down at least 400whp ( I know this can be done one a stock block). So if I have to rebuild the engine what route should I go for the greatest reliability at 400whp minimum preferably 450whp if reliability is not much worse. Should I just put it back to stock or try to get a clean engine for the most reliability at that power or do something more interesting?

 

Whats your price range?

 

I would like to keep it close to 3k

 

Do you plan to do the work yourself? If not it's about $1000 of labor just to get the motor out and put it back in.

 

sorry to somehow thread jack, but I'm interested in this as well as my engine is blown. I'm planning to rebuild it soon by sleeving it & using low comp pistons
