 |
|
What is the best option? My block is trash. I wanna reuse my jugs and pistons if they are still in spec. 1776 jugs. Oversized valves. Ready to put my buggy together. I really wanna get something that will work and not have to worry about the bottom giving up on me for some time. It is a 1600 dp block.
thanks,
Doug |

What's your budget? Are you looking at buying new or at buying a used case and re-using it? CB Performance has these http://www.cbperformance.com/catalog.asp?ProductID=184

Unless you are pretty good at fab work, those choices will be a headache.
