What's your plan for the block? Just pistons and rods and crank? Are you gonna sleeve your cylinders? Keep the open deck design? From what I know (I don't know as much as a lot of these guys) you just gotta beef up the lower end.

Right now my plans basically just got thrown out. Car was hit this morning, cosmetic damage, but I'm just gonna start piling money back after I get it repaired to get out from under it and into something else.
But to answer your question directly, it was going to be a simply bottom end, but added bracing in the motor as it's recommended when you start wanting to put some power through it with a bigger turbo. Livernois has a product that helps with that.

When do you plan on going to Woodburn Raceway once the rain stops?

Not quite sure. I gotta get a set of NTO5R's or something in the back or I won't get a good launch. Sometime after that. But let me know if you and some people go, I'd love to see the different cars and times and such!

When I'm able to trade out I will likely go for a truck.

Could you elaborate a little on the brace? Is that the closed deck bracing? I read they have a drop in brace to support the cylinders. If so I wonder if I could skip on getting a sleeved motor and just get I beams and such and not have to spend 5k on a whole new short block from MAP
