So my goal is the Honda big block, k24 block + a2/z1/3 head and IPS cams.
I got some time to start saving for the parts, but Im interested to hear what member's opinions are about whether I should go full build (and whether I should go OEM or After market) or go w/ stock.
I want a reliable DD, with spirited driving. I might go FI via supercharger down the road but the purpose for now is NA.
My goal is in the 225-250 WHP range.
Im also considering going a staged build. I want to start with a k24a1 swap w/ cams right off the bat, but I was thinking of selling my a3 block and buying a k24a4 bareblock to start building whilst I enjoy the 2.4 in my egg.
Labor will all be done by me, and Im not experienced with building so Ill be taking my time with the block in my garage and the helms manual glued to my hand.
Will update with parts recommendations as the list grows. And I hope this is a good starting point for people looking to do similar things.
