My budget is fine.. It's something I'm going to collect the parts over time and do while I gain my racing skills anyway..
I want this to just be carburated.. I figure if I get a longer stroke or up the compression by shaving the head I'll be doing pretty good and I'll be keeping things in the NA rink...
I'd go with large port or atleast port gasket matching.. no TVIS..
From what I can see if I bore the block out to 1.8l (2000cc) I can pull 140hp with out an issue.. and with the higher comp. and other engine work I could do 200 it seems..
I'm just confused as it seems.. I could get a whole 4A-GE engine.. I don't need the fuel injection crap.. I could keep the engine on my stand and slowly rebuild it.. Get longer duration cams on it.. get the cylinders bored out to 2000cc get the ports gasket matched.. everything polished up..
Although if I keep my trusty 4AF.. which I know is in good condition.. and just put a G head in the block... hmmm idk..
I'm looking at the 3SGE III which has 200HP at 10.3:1 compression ratio..
Take my 4AF.. drop a G head in it.. run the compression at 10.3:1 and I should be good.. with all the rest of the mods of course.. Keep the stock tranny in.. if it goes bang.. it goes bang.. then I just drop in a beefier tran.. I want to keep it automatic..
The question is.. which is better, shave the head.. or turbo/SC.. more reliable.. and more streetable.. I'd imagine turbo or SC because that I can control the boost level and keep it low when I just want to drive around or higher for race..? But once again I run into issues with my carburator...
