3sgte head on 5s block, just an idea.... Options

[rzanology]

Hey guys, Im kicking off my 3sgte project in april but I just had a thought. I have a totaled 5sfte sitting down stairs and I’ll be obtaining a 205 3rd gen clip…how hard is it to combine the two? I want to run the 2.2 block and the 3s head. My 5s had about 90k on it and I got it when it had 70…so im pretty sure its in good shape. What is needed and what needs to be done? I have a really good mechanic who would be willing to do the work providing its not like re inventing the wheel.

Thanks manny, you are 100% correct,
the main thing with that much hp is you have to be positive your engine is healthy enough to handle it.
dont take for granted your piston rings from 1991 are in a good enough condition to handle that much pressure.
if you want reliable power you have to do it right or you WILL run into problems.
