ok people this is my first ground up build i have a 91 ford econovan/mazda b2000 got off a mate
it has petol and gas fitted, engine is a 2.0L carby fed FE that will become a force fet FE/T with a little toyota ct9, i already had this and being off a 1.8L it should boost eary for towing power and i'll keep it set around 5-7lb of boost
i have left the block bolted in the van i'm too lazy to pull it out plus i'm covered when it rains, i have removed the pistons so she's ready for a hone
all rings and bearings will remain standard
my questions are,
would standard rings and head gasket be ok with 5-7 pound boost, the boost controller will be mounted in the cab and plumbed to the factory internal wastegate so i have full control.
i have looked everywhere for timing settings to do with retarding and i have found nothing definate only suggestions and off topic ranting so any help there would be great,
also people who have helped/added to this build will be getting thier name on the (built with help by) section that is reserved on the tail gate after the painting is complete
