I am posting this here because I only want racer level input and not what someone is running in their street/strip car.
I want to start planning out my next engine (and yes I know I haven't run my current combo down the track yet) and only want to do it once. What I am looking for is advice, suggestions and recommendations based on experience for this build. This engine will be a naturally aspirated, small block with no power adders. Plan is to run alcohol or e85 for fuel, leaning towards e85. Goal is low to mid 9's in a 2800 lb (or less) back half car.
1 - Block (which block should I go with?)
2 - Heads (Indy, Victor, W2 etc...)
3 - Rotating assembly (bore, stroke, piston type domed or flat top)
4 - Cam will be solid roller (ballpark lift and duration)
Option 2 would be to get the Indy 360-1 Head Kit and use my current short block which I am prepared to do if I don't go with a whole new build.
Thanks in advance!
