After running with the Salvagewon crew at MATG - I was sold - knew i had to build one.
So thus far I've got:
95 block with 99 intake and head
FM manifold and DP with T25 (specs?) and IC with greddy bov.
FM clutch kit
6spd
GC/Koni with 500f/300r
Racepak iq3 dash
Vishnu fr with RC 750cc injectors
Funky cool projector fogs with hid lamps
NRG wheel with qd
Still need bbk, fp and 94/95 mspnp, reroute
Just finished using up my wire wheel on the cage - love the imbedded flying darts
The plan is to go with a rattle approach for easy repair with the metallic red like the wheel that i painted - had to - it was a god-aweful gay purple neo chrome. Haven't decided to paint just the tub and leave the cage in wire- brushed clear.

And so the 95 motor i had that was 'supposedly' good was anything but. #1 #3 rod bearings fubar - same with the crank. Freakin idiots. Anyway - depending on what the 99 motor looks like, i might be using it. It has a cracked #4 ring - but won't know until it's apart.
If the 99 motor isn't any better, a machine shop can turn that crank and order you a set of bearings for it, likely less than 200 for machine work and new bearings. It's not junk, that's fixable.
Turning the crank is an option should it come to that. So - my hp goals was around 250 on a stock block - but now with all this digging in and ****, should i just go ahead and drop in forged pistons and rods? That ways i can crank up the boost for that one special track car that's pissing me off.

Hell yes. You already have it apart, so throw in some eBay rods at the very least.

Do it. If on a budget I'd run ebay rods and Weisco pistons. If you got coin, Carrillo H beams and FM Weiscos.
look at your other projects.
of course you're gonna go overboard and make it a built monster, so why even waste time thinking about it?
PS: I've always wanted to set up a ridiculous "kill mode" on a car. Like 250whp normal and then like 400+ at the flick of a switch, just to do it in the middle of a race and watch the face of the other guy...easily done with nitrous but I hate nitrous
Well that didn't take long - drop dropped $800 on a set of Weiscos and Manleys - while there I ordered ARP mains and studs. Here I go over the edge again - ADD/OCD build thread.
For the record - I'm not ignoring the track car. I send out a set of rod and main bearings to WPC and had to bore out the MR2 hubs to fit in the rounded extended ARP lugs. It's about on wheels again so I can deliver for tubular v-mount glory. But that's another OCD story.
Andrew is giving me 20% off because I'm putting his stickers all over the thing. Yeah I wish, that tightwad
BBK Gen 2 ordered with rear brackets for sports. I won't be installing a pro valve and will try using compounds to balance it out. Hell - who am I kidding.
Who thinks I should get a Locost7 frame done before this thing get finished, then randomly send it to Genesplicer to distract him with another project?

Lmao - wait, wut?
Where's your thread Nick buddy 'ole pal?
I did ditch the pistons - like Curly says, it's unnecessary expense in pistons and machine work. I'm getting some Manleys and use the stock pistons.
Because of stock pistons, should I retain the squirters? I've seen/read where eliminating them reduces blow-by and smoke??
