Daily driver small block build
Some main goals:
- Spending less than a few grand total
with my interpretation a few G's is 2~3 and that, to me, is going to be the biggest hurdle to clear.
300 horse is a fairly low bar to clear, but with the 5.2 you'd still need to add about 70hp to get there.
i *think* the stock compression will support that, and with the right cam and intake and maybe justttt
breathing on the heads makes it happen; and unlocks a boat load of torque, and likely all done by 5K or so.
with the 5.9 that goal is achieved a little easier.
either way, the whole operation hinges on getting an absolutely stellar core that needs practically nothing.
