318 rebuild for turbocharging

If all you want is 550hp, either do a stroker kit and keep it na. Or use a stock motor with a turbo.

At 550hp it won't even be breaking a sweat. And is easily obtainable, and nowhere near block breaking hp.

That's certainly nice to hear... N/A stroker would definitely be harder to hit that HP mark living in CO, elevation starts at 5000' where I live and just goes up from there. That's really my motive for going turbo.

I already have a set of ARP bolts to put in the stock rods and have them recon'd, just need pistons and then have it all balanced and the block machined.
