My budget is to be under $1000, if possible, when all said and done with the upgrades (to make this actually run, carb, throttle plate, etc).. I wanted to do only what is necessary to achieve my personal goal with this motor. which is to gain the highest possible hp/tq or in the highest area, without having to machine the block for a stroker crank or bigger piston. To do that would blow my budget almost instantly.
I will not edit what I buy, even if a mistake was made, or somehow i end up over the budget
... just so a person new to small engines (like myself) can see what I went through... seeing a thread like this, would have saved me a ton of headaches... thanks to guys like youngengines, I am quickly becoming more comfortable with choices, without buying my own dyno machine etc...
