For the price of forged pistoins and rings, I've decided to just use my surviving 302 pistons and get one more off a buddy and get the SCAT 9000 3.85" crank and make it a 388 (393 without the .030" overbore). I'm going to do longtubes and a tremec TKO 600. The heads will be upgraded in the future (perhaps to a set of ported FMS Z heads) and a custom Rawls or FTI cam. I will run my heads and cam for now, as this should make enough power to get me kicked off the track without the right safety gear. Instead of having it on the road in a month, my goal will be next spring.
