So I have some new ideas for my slant after getting some guidance from a couple of members on here. I took my rebuild kit back and used the money to replace some stolen stuff and im BROKE. but I just wanted to share my plan and see if its possible.
First of all, I wanna build a Long rod 225 with 198 rods and the 2.2 turbo pistons. (or whatever pistons fit). im not looking for lots of power but I want some improvement in throttle response, and sound, and a stroker sounds pretty cool. Im buying off of this site, a 2 barrel intake (pending), and I did some horse trading for a brand new holley 2 barrel and a 2 barrel air cleaner assembly. So what I need to know, will this still run on pump gas, what can I do to improve my exhaust system without spending big bucks, and where on this beautiful green earth can I find some 198 rods for cheap? they had reman ones on rockauto but they only have 3 and I need 6...
Help, as always, is appreciated!
