Hi guys !
I need your advice for my ALH rebuild. My goal is at least 200hp and reliability since this is my daily driver engine. I know there are many options to upgrade the block but I wanted to know what is the most important to upgrade ?
Are the pistons or rods more prone to failure or are they both prone to failure at 30 psi ? I was thinking of keeping my ALH pistons since I dont want to reduce my compression (cold start ...) and I would not have to get my block machined and go with Rosten or IE rods to give me more strenght to support the higher boost.
Or would I be better to get BHW pistons (get my block machined)and BEW rods ?
Im looking for the cheapest way to get a reliable engine that is not overkill for the power it will be putting out.
Thanks for any info !
