Get rid of the Cometic head gasket and get an APEXi, Tomei, Cosworth... or OEM.

It could totally work, but your tune will be very important; and the rebuild too if you want it to go 1,000mi at a time on a racer's pace. You will probably want forged pistons for this, too. The SR is very dependable- so long as it is properly built and cared for.

I would almost think an inline-6 or V8 might be better for what you are talking about doing... but I'm not sure what the average rally racer packs under the hood.

I honestly think a naturally aspirated motor would be better solely for reliability. Your gonna be in sand and 110 degree weather. I really don't know if your gonna be able too keep that thing cool. You could always use e85 and meth but e85 will lower your fuel range and idk how your going to store 1000 miles worth of meth lol.
