Since the Goat is in need of a rebuild shortly, I've been kicking around the idea of stroking it. What are your thoughts?
I've also thought about throwing boost on a 4G64 and putting that in. I'm just curious if the benefits of either setup would be equal to the cost. -------------------- QUOTE (gsxracer80 @ Oct 31 2006, 12:41 AM)

Drawbacks are:
Less experience with problems and tuning More possibility of transmission/drive-train breakage that are already weak Less gas mileage Not being able to honestly run in a standard 2.0 racing classification if there is such a thing Hmmm...Nothing else comes to mind As far as a path of greater economy? It realy depends on your desire to learn. If your willing to put your own parts together it will depend on if it stays together. Currently I would have been better off monetarily to buy a short block or kit, but at least I can say I did it myself this way. Plus I've added a lot to my engine building knowledge!
