Well this will be my first motor rebuilt/build So I am seeing what everyone thinks, and can suggest to help me out. I am going to take everything out with the help of a good friend. (not my first motor removal nor his, as he is a ase certified mechanic and owns a build 2.6L srt4) anyways so I dont get asked if I ever worked on a car. lol. Heres what Im thinking after searching around and talking to a couple guys.
I am going to just rebuild the head and block since they have 115k on them.
thinking this for the bottom end

Or just send my block to map and do this

Just trying to keep price down, yet dont want so skimp on anything Im doing it right once so it dont have to happen again.
What pistons should I go with standard or .020 over? Or would that be something the machine shop has to figure out depending on my sleeves?
I wanted to do a 2.4L stroker but Nate at map thinks just re building the 2.0 would be best since it would last longer and just do 9.0.1 pistons would help spin it faster. Thoughts?
That kit has pretty much everything for the bottom end, Would I need to resurface the crank? Its fine right now, cars just running on low compression. Didnt even bother on doing a leak down since I want to just rebuild both top and bottom end.
What would you guys suggest for a head? I will re-use my cosworth m2 cams, and ARP head studs. IDK if I will bother porting it, I only want to make whatever I can with current mods on Shane's dyno. Hopeing close to 400. But I want something that would handle 450/500 hp no problem if I ever decide to upgrade the turbo. I really couldnt find anything on a DIY head rebuild so maybe just say F it and send it to map for new valves, springs, kiggly HLA, seals etc and assemble it with cams and such. So I can get it and bolt her on the block.
