Im about to rebuild my SR with a budget in mind and have a few questions for those whole rebuilt their motors already. Im making around 400whp but the motor i recieved 2 years ago is kinda shaddy and has some oil leaks so my list so far is
-CP pistons 9.0:1
-complete engine gasket set
-new bearings
-cometic HG w/ arp studs
My questions are should I spend the extra money and get eagle rods or should the stock rods be fine at these hp levels? As for the pistons go should i spring for the 87mm or 86mm? and is it worth having the head ported and polished? only reason i ask is this is my first engine rebuild im having done and wanted to know what works best.
This car isn't my daily driver nor do i race it often so it really doesn't get abused at all. If theres anything im missing or advice you might want to add that'd be great. Thanks.
