Ok guys, I have a very nice set of original heads with a nice valve job (no porting) that are ready to bolt on. My short block is junk. Block repaired 30 years ago, 2 scuffed up pistion and it was getting ready to spin a bearing. So I have a bad stock rod and a crank that needs turning.
If I were to build a new short block, I'm wondering what would be the best route to go for a nice motor with a 600 or so lift cam for street and strip use. I have a few intakes to choose from.
If I have to build a new short block, what would be my best bang for the buck?
