420a Going all out
The engine I have, decided to throw a control arm through the block. Anyway, I'm looking to go ahead and do some performance mods while I'm rebuilding. I need to know where I can find a good crate engine or at least the block. From the advice of scottsee and some of my friends I'm going to put my compression around 8.5 so I can run 18 psi. Any recommendations would be nice.

Re: 420a Going all out
A crate motor of what? A 420A block is the best you're putting in that engine bay, but you can build the motor for turbo if you like. Don't assume you'll run any psi... that comes later. Personally I'd take the opportunity to get a nice GST/GSX.

 I don't know what the guy that painted it was thinking. It's the worst $200 paint job I've ever seen. They painted the poor thing canary yellow. I don't have a problem with yellow but when you can still find patches of the original color (green) around the door jambs the wing and the windows, something isn't right. It was missing the front bumper (blitz copycat body kit) and the back one was in rough enough condition that I took it off and threw it away. I figured while its apart and in such dire need of an overhaul then I would go all out. That's why I'm looking at doing the reverse lambo door conversion and squeezing as much whp out of a 420A as i can. That doesn't even include the fact that if i even considered doing a swap that i would have to get rid of a perfectly good tranny and clutch and then find a new one for the 4g63. I think my plate is full enough thanks.

Re: 420a Going all out
Do you know where I can find a cheap used block because all of the places I've found are really pricy.

Re: 420a Going all out
I don't trust ebay enough to put it on my car.

Re: 420a Going all out
