I think we could certainly get it done less expensively than this by reusing a lot of our existing parts, but this is a relatively quick turnaround option and the 2yr warranty is enticing.

Any known reliability issues for these big bore 302 Boss engines when being used almost exclusively for HPDE events?

I assume we could reuse our existing distributor and wires, but I think we will want to upgrade our intake and possibly go to a carb. We will also need a new flywheel as our engine had a non-standard balance.

The in-between is obviously a short block.

I am also talking to Brent about rebuild options.
