Re: ooh, shiny, my built Y8 *pics*

The goal was 300whp, but I needed .25 over bore pistsons and vitara's were not available in that size. That's the reason for no sleeves. I was pondering filling it or using a GE blockguard if I keep it.

I was thinking of selling it (~$1600) then just throwing in a stock replacement ($350) or a ZC ($450), and using the leftover cash to put some stuff into the 240.
