What is your budget and what parts do you have already?

block, gm stock crank, i have some camel hump heads, but dont know if i want to use them. because they dont have the assy bracket holes.

What is the vehicle being used for? Street 100%? Strip 50/50?

[jason hood]

If you want a real screamer you are going to need forged rods, and forged pistons, I like gapless rings, and a good set of aftermarket heads.

A roller cam will let you get pretty aggressive withought sacrificing bottom end driveability. A 2000+ stall converter will also open up your cam selection as well as a set of gears in the 3.55-3.73 range...depending on tire size.

Flat top pistons with two valve reliefs, and a set of modern 64cc heads will allow you to run more compression on pump gas.

If you have 4000 bucks you can build a really nice dual purpose motor, for 6000 it could be something really spectacular (blower maybe?). In that small vehicle it won't take a whole lot to get it moving.

My advise would be to start out with a really stout shortblock, with forged internals. That way you can put a 250 shot of nitrous on it at the track!
