if you have 120,000 miles on that motor, I would not stick a blower on that car at all. unless its one of those cheap powerdynes for like 6 lbs of boost. anything more on that motor and you would blow it up and have to rebuild it anyways. id go ahead and have someone build you up a nice strong short block with that $2500. get a decent stroker kit with forged crank, rods and pistons and go from their. it will be worth your money in the long run, believe me!!! However if even after the rebuild you have plans for a blower or nitrous, make sure you get a set of low compression dished pistons.

if you do get the engine rebuilt, what are your plans: i.e. stroker?

CHP sells short blocks with completely forged internals for $2600
DSS has em for around $2700
