I have 550cc injectors and 255lb Walbro fuel pump...I was to get a built block what else would I need? could run a stock fuel pump and injectors and radiator etc?
Having a built block is like having a stock block in terms of everything else, except you have forged internals which are stronger and more durable than stock. Some tuners like to lean out a bit more when you have a built block, but that's about the only difference.. you still need to have enough fuel, adequate cooling etc.
okay well I think im going to pick up the engine local around here for 800.....Have it install for about 1000....be done with it..then just part out everything within the engine.

If i had to go forced induction again, i'd definitely want the same setup as Beerviper, low boost, runs daily just fine. But i wont until i pay off the car and have a daily beater. Until then, i'm still looking for wheels and debating on a plenum spacer purchase, haha! A far cry from forced induction, but that's the risk involved with it. i don't want to run that risk until i can comfortably say that if my engine blows, i can build it again with no financial worries. good luck.
