My 2.7i Build

I ran a stock 2.5L engine w/ metric blues at 10psi for a few months before the headgasket blew. My goal is to make a reliable engine to boost at a reasonable cost.

I've got a 2.5i engine. 250k on the engine. Head rebuilt in '05 and looks brand new, block is clean and looks in good condition.

Got an S-ETA bottom end. Sat for a while, so it's dirty and the coolant passages are rusty.

My plan is to take the 2.7L internals and put them into the 2.5L block. Mild rebuild at the same time.

Here is the plan for the rebuild:

Main bearing set - 11211706847 - $88.40
Connecting rod bearings - 11241280582 - $47.30
Connecting rod bolts - 11241713342 - $70.80 ($5.90x12)
Standard 83.98mm Piston ring set - 11251713192 - $127.80
Bottom end gasket set - 11111730875 - $37.91
(total $372.21) + timing belt, few misc. gaskets

Resurface and hone block - $200?

Resurface head - $100

ARP headstuds + stock thickness Cometic headgasket - $440

Critiques or advice?
