    Default Wanna do a rebuild(DIY)

    okay i wanna do my own engine rebuild, so im thinking of buying a 2nd hand motor and going from there but want to know what are good pistons and rods to use, rockers, valves/springs, cam anything i need or should get done but i want pretty high comp as ill be going naturally aspirated, i want to be able to do a burnout without having to worry to much like i would with my stocko.

    Just keep in mind this will all be done at home, except port/polishing, honeing

    Thanks guys,
    if you could include links at stuff to parts that would be great
    i wanna be able to get it done by easternats and if not, by summernats, and i want a lumpy as f*ck cam
    Thanks again

    ACL race series rebuild kit 40thou over, stock rods (good enough for vengance) and custom cam. regrind crank, oversize bearings to suit. replace all sensors, chemical bath block and heads, reco/port heads with new valves etc and I'd use 1.7 roller tip rockers (tell the cam grinder you're using them or they'll die quickly)
    think that's about it
