I am getting ready to build up my engine.

I'm going to finish the exhaust with header and DP
Custom build a new intake
Swap out the TB for a larger
Port the head, cam and tune.
And higher compression pistons to keep CR around 10.4:1 with larger cam

From my research Im ball parking around 300 at the crank with e85.

What do yall think the outcome will turnout to be?

Expensive, but fun!

Parts run less than 3000. I know some local shops than can dyno tune the bugger. And if I choose to go with out new pistons it's dang near a grand less. But it's better to over build than to rebuild.

Sounds like a plan.
Ought to make for a good "sleeper" wrapped in a plain package.

GreasySpoon08

Absolutely! It will break some egos out on the road.

Check the ZZP website for short or long blocks for your project, same results and a warranty!
But I'm like you , more fun turning those wrenches yourself!

It's not really a hobby if you get it build for you lol.

This might sound ridiculous, but how do you make a profile picture?
