It is the standard engine in my Maverick, and rather than go silly with turbo's etc I'm thinking about gassing it. I'm still not sure whether or not to stroke it, the full kit is cheap for what you get, but you have to take metal out of the block for crank and rod clearance which I'm not keen about, the car only weighs 1200kg so it doesn't need much more than 5 litres- especially if I put the money from the stroker kit towards ally heads and nitrous instead. -Plus nice pistons of course. Would hypereutectic be good enough for nitrous use or is forged the only way to go? Hyper... pistons are supposed to be more stable thus have tighter bore clearance and use less oil and run smoother- but no point if they can't handle a good amount of nitrous.
So probably- stock crank, polished rods, forged(?) pistons, (all balanced), roller cam would be nice but too much hastle and expence, so a mid performance hydraulic most likely, alloy or well worked heads with bigger valves, headers, eddy inlet manifold, holley 600-750cfm afb, might even go MSD!
How much nitrous do you recon it could take before getting risky? And what would the weak points be in the above engine spec? I'm guessing con rods or crank if go silly with the nos
