btw it certainly helps if you take the time and effort to write down, in detail,
what your trying to accomplish and break it down into the smaller steps ,
and list the sequence the machine work and component purchases need to be made in.
do the calculations required to find the correct engine displacement, bore/stroke and connecting rod length, cam lift duration and LSA, port size combustion chamber and piston dome or dish volume,etc.

you,ll want to calculate things like,
how much cash can you realistically sink into the project?
do you have a decent place to work, what tools will you need?
what's the ideal throttle body flow rate,
what's the best ignition?
port cross sectional area,
port flow speeds,
potential port stall,

Yes there's I know there are deals to be found but there's also a huge amount of scammer's wanting to unload damaged blocks...
there's always some guy getting a divorce or who's recently lost his job. or moving out of state,

I sold 5 complete BBC engines when I moved to texas at absurdly low prices simply because I had no easy way to transport them.
if you know some place near texas, so I know situations change?

read post #7 first, and if your buying a turbo cam you want limited overlap, early exhaust closing and try to select a turbo cam with a max lift in the range of 30%-35% of the intake valve diameter.
