I have a pile of goodies laying around here so I have decided to build a motor for my 95 as I think it would be best to take my time and build another motor than to try to get it all on my car in a weekend. Plus with a motor replacement I get to replace the the clutch and motor mounts. So here are my questions
1 I will be using all early model parts with the exception of my blower. Do I need to use an early model balancer or a late model balancer, and why??
2 I have a non EGR inlet plenum that is WAY bigger than a MP can I safely delete the EGR on my car, will it have any negative effects?
3 I have seen several posts about HGs brands and I dont think I ever really figured out which is the best ones. I will be making bunches of boost and I dont wanna crack one of these off, so what brand is recommended. Also I dont like to reuse bolts, any recommendations on head bolts for these or will NAPA bolts do.
4 My family races alot and from my experience in car building, I know that any loss of rotating weight is a major plus. So I am pretty sure I can skinny up the flywheel by surfacing it down to the shoulder and maybe even some off the other side. Has anyone done this? Any negatives?
5 In the 3 blocks I have laying around none of them have any ring grooves (obviously cast out of high quality metal) SO I am not wanting to bore my motor, but I do think I should replace the rings since Im going to be in there anyway. Anybody have any ring recomendations.
6 Bearings, I need some recomendations on these too.
I would appreciate it if only those who have done similar projects would reply, I dont want any guesses or brother in law info. Not trying to step on any toes here but I dont want to re-do anything because of bad information.
