I've decided to stay with fuel injection (I hate it but I'm learning modern tech lol) and with that in mind, I am planning a motor build for my truck.
My engine is a "stage 2" crate motor replacement that was put in about 8 years ago with an aftermarket MPFI system implemented into it. It's got more than stock power in the mid to upper range, but not enough on the lower end for daily driving as I want, plus I just want to rebuild it because it's fun and I enjoy have a fresh motor that lopes through town.
I've done tons of research and came up with a small, and possibly growing, parts list for right now. Here is that list.
Heads: SUM-162108 Aluminum head material, 62cc comb. chamber, 170cc intake runners/69cc exhaust runners, 2.020in. valve/1.60exh. valve, hardened valve seats. More info on summit.
Cam: Lunati 10120701LK Flat tappet Cam and lifters, 213in./219exh. @050 inch lift, 0.454in. lift/0.468exh. lift, LSA112. Advertised operating range 1000-5500.
Timing Chain: Melling 40400 double roller timing chain set.
Pushrods: COMP cams 7972-16 hi-tech chromoly pushrods, 7.800 in. length.
For now I'm sticking with my aftermarket MPFI system until any signs show that will make me go another route. Also when I pull the engine and disassembly it, I'll be able to determine whether the pistons/rods/crank etc. will be okay to reuse as well as the cylinder condition. Things I didn't mention in the parts list that are going to be a definite are simple stuff like all ARP bolts/fasteners as well as threadlocker/silicone pastes, bearings, seals and gaskets.
Let me know what y'all think!
PS: I may have forgot some things so i may come back and edit the post to add stuff or put it in comment section.
