Starting tommorrow I begin the teardown of the Mark8 engine. At this point I have 3 ideas.

1. Use the existing shortblock with my ported heads and stay NA. Send pistons out to get notched for intake and exhaust. Swap rods for set of forged pieces to handle higher rpm. Already have a cam recommended, a Bullet Stage5 piece(Dur-250/248 Lift-540/540 106/110CL's 108-lobe sep . Shift points will end up in the 7500-7800 range. Just using the short block with the 4v pistons will net a 2+point compression jump from about 9.5 to 11.7 plus being 68lbs light than my current block. Sort of where I am leaning to doing

2. Use block for a 2v Power Adder build. The Vortech blower I have is not set in stone. May sell and go with a turbo.

3. Use block and the B heads with a MMR intake for a 4v Power Adder build.

The 4r70w trans I already have some great ideas on using it without a computer. Be full manual with transbrake and setup to lockup convertor in 3rd. if I want to have some sort of computer control I think the controller from Baumann will do. Though I still have my broken 3650 I could send out to be upgraded.

All I know is I want car ready for march. This mofo is going to Flordia to go racing.
