I'm going to pick up my motor today and start tearing it down for sleeving. I was wondering if anybody can give me some insight as far as reliability on building this engine. the motor will be fully built with AEBS sleeves, JE 9:1 pistons crower rods(debating on which crank and rods to use, some insight here would be nice), Z10 block girdle and the head is all ferrea. SC61 full-race manifold yada yada yada you get the picture. looking for ~450 hp but I want to build overkill so I can drive on the street with as little problems as possible. this is not my first build so I would appreciate if nobody flamed about the high hp expectations.

 

I'm in the same boat you are sound like we will have the same set up pretty much. I'm intrested to see the replies. good luck with your build
