Ever taken into thought that your chambers will need to be reshaped??? A used block that is sleeved to 85+ and needs to be bored again is nothing but a massive paperweight to anyone but a drag racer. In other words - you wasted your money. I personally don't like anything bigger then 84 for street use. Just because you can go bigger, doesn't mean you should.

Yes I know that my chambers need to reshaped, that's fine no biggie, I don't feel that wasted money it was a cheap block. Well see when I get done with the motor if I made a mistake, if I did then just rebuild and repeat and do it differently!

Does it matter if it is a long or short aluminum double core radiator?

I have a double core aluminum radiator by Fluidine and a Spal fan, can that cut it?

Im in the process of building my all motor, I have a block from Dalton. I had 85.5 now change it to 86mm, quite don't know if streetable or not. But willing to take the chance.

I heard it is more a race set-up than streetable. true/false?

My parts:
Head gasket from Comet 86.5, but not quite sure if 0.5 is necessary. Or should I just go with the 86mm.
Piston Wisco 11.5 rods from Crower 310 B20 crank
GSR head fully port & polish 5 angle valve job open up valve area to 84mm
Ferrera flat valves, Ferrera springs & retainers
70mm throttle body, not quite sure if it should be 68mm
Edelbrock manifold
Aem cold air intake
Hi-tech headers
Prelude injector
K&N filter
2.5 inch piping
2000 Integra Type R gear box
Comet Head Gasket, had a four layer ****ED ME UP! Compression was too low. So I'm getting a 3-layer now.
Skunk 2 pro-series cams

I've decided to change the above pistons to Endyne 12.1 rollerwave pistons and eagle rods.And got myself a meth kit by Snow.
I decided to go with the 86mm head gasket from Comet.
What you think?
Is this set-up suitable for highway fun?

5 comments in a row really? Totally un-called for. Make your own thread if you want answers.
