Look at what I got away with for 15 years. Stock block, crank, rods, and even rod bolts. It was several years before I bought good head bolts. Never changed the main bolts. Ran El cheapo Speed Pro pistons. A .480" cam under 12 lbs of boost made 650 at the wheel. The turbos were pretty cheap, too. Granted. It was 2001 but I built the thing for $2800.
