So I am leaving for iraq sometime this year. Sorry cant give a date... Which means bank for me!!
Anyways i am looking to build me a motor that will do 400+ on pump and i want it to be very very reliable. It will be a daily driver...
So help me build a motor. You guys guide me along with which parts i should purchase... So far i have in mind...
Dart B18 block
B16 head
No as far as internals i am not sure i was thinking
Pauter Rods and CP pistons Which crank? Will stock be ok?
Also im not very familiar with heads who makes the best valvetrain?
Thanks for the help..

 

um why get a dart block?

just get a block sleeved

 

what does " going to iraq" have anything to do with building an engine?

it means he can blow all his savings...now...and recoop them if he makes it back...alive

 

1. Stock block
2. Weisco, CP piston
3. Manley rod
4. HeadGames ported head (b18,16 either one)
5. Ferrea or Manley valvetrain (which ever money allows)
6. Full-Race GT35 prostreet kit
7. Jeff Evans Tuned Neptune
-------------------------------------------
An easy 450-500+ pump gas set up...650+ if you want to run VP fuel and turn the boost up a little. A combination that has proven itself.

 

Have you been down range before watch out for taxes later.. You might not have to pay taxes on the loot now but trust me the government will come looking for their money later.. Keep that in mind before spending it all

 

Almost right there Dave but I fixed it for you.

It pays very, very big $. A close friend did six months in Bagdad.
And you get to learn/do exciting things. Such as how to make your own RotoRooter tool by wiring two knives to a pipe to clear the exposed, gravity fed sewage pipes because big turds don't like to make 90 degree bends easily. And how to make/patch tires from the remains of other tires due to bullets, bombs, etc. Climb utility pole to repair electrics w/ hand tools and no protection.

In all seriousness, it's also dangerous and this person should be complimented for going, regardless of the money.

I reread his original post and understand your comment even though I didn't take it that way.

Assuming he makes it back, he will be able to afford his dream engine and is smartly asking before purchasing parts and services. Such as your recommending a sleeved block vs the Dart. I agree it's a better and more economical choice for his desires. Yours and others good advice will help him regardless of his financial position.

 

I could care less what you think about my duty in the military.
I have been overseas enough. **** i got spit on for being military. Im sure you can do no worse..
Anyways the only reason i posted that was because it means ill come back with 15k+ so i can play a little and wanted to learn about various parts..
I want to learn as much as i can before purchasing parts. I don't wanna throw some parts together and hope i make power.

 

Don't worry man, Its honda-tech. That means its full of pretty much all ******** cept for the few. Just follow what head said here and you shouldn't have any problem!

This is the end to my third tour out here, 11 months 2 weeks down ...1 1/2 to go..ahah Best thing to do out here is keep your mind busy and dont dawn to much on whats happening around you. Think of the gun shots and bombs as backfires out of a car..ahaha Well im redueing my car from ground up and have it sitting at my house..My garage and living room are full of parts and engines. Itll be a fun welcome home.

 

"It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat; who strives valiantly; who errs and may fail again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who does know the great enthusiasm, the great devotion; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
- Theodore Roosevelt

Yes, the sleeved stock block will safely/reliably handle what you want to make.
