Obviously not a cheap route however!
Ok, I have a 200 block ona 0.5 fresh overbore, with 6 centre long studs, GT 35, std/std crank, set of std length arrow H section rods, 8.5:1 forged pistons (J.E) sat in a box
( all bought a few years ago when I knew a lot less than I know now
)...
What would be the most cost effective way of doing this 2.3 engine? I assume I would sell everything bar the GT35 and 200 block and go from there? what would the head spec / cams have to be like, as I already have a 25/26mm ported 2wd head and a new BD16 and BD 14 exhaust?
Rough costs please?
