- Supercharged VF SSV
Hi,
I recently melted the L77 in my VF SSV, it has a walkinshaw 457 kit on it and #5 went lean, melted the piston, snapped a bit of the ring off and that was bouncing around in the chamber so the head is stuffed now too.
I think I have about 3 options here:
- best and most boring case I get the engine out, new piston and ring (hopefully within tolerance still) and new head and I'm on my way
- second is new crate motor, cam and slap all my go fast bits on it
- third is get it out, stroke it, and put my go fast bits on it.
Obviously money is the issue here, I'm thinking about 7-10k as a budget. I'm in SA so if anyone has any ideas out here I'd like to know.
Thanks in advanced.
