im looking to bulid a engine that can take a good ammount of boost its a 95 stock gt v8 engine with 212k km how should i rebuild it for high boost

[BlueStreak03]

The biggest thing for boost is getting forged pistons and connecting rods and real good bearings for the bottom end.

alright so that is taken into consideration would anyone suggest a good rebuild kit that is ideal for around 10-20 #s of boost for my engine or should i do this work myself, also im considering if it is "wise" to rebuild my engine as a 347 Stroker or rebuilt it still as a simple 302 like the block is stock but that shouldnt be to much of a problem because i want to push some serious horse here so yah know just thinking what is best

[BlueStreak03]

I've heard of issues with the 347's and longevity. I'm not precisely sure what the cause is though. I plan on doing a 306 or 331 with my 83 this winter and boosting it sometime in the spring.

If your looking at really serious HP you probably should start with a Dart Block And forged internals Stock blocks especially the 5.0's can flex a bit when you start trying to pull 450 -500 hp out of them

It doesn't HAVE to be a Dart block, but they are very impressive pieces.
