Im looking to get a project car this spring/summer and would like a very nice engine to go into it. Something that is reliable and very loud, and I understand I will sacrifice driveablility for a bigger cam and power ect. But I dont care that much because it will only be used for a couple of months. I can get a pristine 350 block from my neighbor that would just need to be bored .030 over. The hardest part for me is what parts to really put in it. Price limit is anywhere from 3,000-5,000. Just browsing summit from time to time I was thinking of getting pre-assembled heads to make it easier on install. All I need are connecting rods and pistons. Shot peened rods are a must, summit makes some that hold up to 600 horses and 6,500 rpm which is perfect. Pistons are where im lost, I wont be running a blower so I need a set that will work with 93 pump gas, if someone could link a few choises that would be awsome. Im not sure if the stock crank will hold up to bolt ons or not so please if im going to need one tell me, eagle makes a forged one for a reasonable price. And now to my favorite part, the cam. I want a cam that is a bit on the extreme side. I know a lot about engines and how they work however where my knowlege lacks is what cam will work with what heads and the such, because if we dont have the right heads the cam wont have enough air to get its full potential. So in closing I will put up the list of parts I have found and please make comments or suggestions on what to change. Thanks.

I would buy a complete balanced bottom end, that saves you the trouble of having to pay a machineshop to doit later. For 93 octance, with aluminum heads, if I'm not completely mistaken you can go 10.5compression ratio safely on93 octance.Don't forget, you'll have to make room for a new tranny too. With that combo you'll break yours pretty easily.
