Picked up a motor to build, parts? book?
I've always wanted to build a motor but never have.
When racing FC, we ran a built/ dry sumped Ford Pinto motor- and if you wanted a chance of winning you did not build it yourself. There were two major builders (Elite and Quicksilver) and a handful of smaller builders but to get everything out of the motor it took a pro (plus annual rebulids and 2x a year head freshining). The headwork was the major difference. Components were spec.
So now I've got a spare 03 VVT motor, and since I'm not racing and the last 2hp does not matter I'd like to give it a go. It will be built for 275-300hp with a 2860RS, MS3, ID1000 and reliable operation. I've got an engine that runs great now (78k) so MS3 going in this weekend, tuning n/a then bolting up the FI after. I'm not pressed for time.
Is there a book available that specifically covers building the Miata 1.8?
What about recommended components? Lots of choices for pistons, rods, bearings, bore, etc.
