I am having the worst time deciding wtf to do. Grrrrrrrrrrr.
I've had a few conversations with people lately and I don't think I'll do a 2.2t build.
And I'm thinking doing a stroker build is a waste of money. So I think I'm going to go hybrid.
I found a full hybrid on nasioc for $2500 but I'm scared to get anything with Axis attached to it these days.
I also found a Cosworth short block. I'm trying to figure out what heads are going to run me if mine aren't useable. If I can have mine freshened up and have the ports matched it might be worth just getting a stock 2.5 block or find a slightly built one somewhere and run my heads. If my heads are borked and I need new heads I might as well do a long block.
Grrrrrrrr. I really won't know until I pop the heads and that frightens me so I'm half tempted to find some low mileage 2.0 heads and have them done now an then when I do the install just pull mine out. If they're good sell em or have them freshened up and sell them. If they're toast then maybe I can turn them in to a table or some ****.
Man... I hate this.
Maybe I'll look for some damn heads and have them done while I'm trying to decide.
I wonder what stock short blocks run...
