Anyone here familiar with this engine and built one at all before? Let me know, kinda curious about some stuff

They seem to run awhile but I sure as hell wouldn't build one

I'm not gonna be doing anything crazy to it. Only aiming for about 300ish rwhp, just curious what the main things that will be needed for this.

That would be sacrilegious considering its being put into my Dodge truck, any actual advice? The rest of you Chevy guys can leave now.

Bleh. Most boundaries have been broken about putting different manufacturers parts in vehicles. Use what works best, for the cheapest. People do it all the time now.

Im still against It for my own vehicle. For racing and the like sure, swap over what works best.

All personal preference. You can build it for the hp you want. It will cost more, and probably be less durable. But you can do whatever you want to pretty much any engine these days.

Yeah, pretty much hit it on the head. Im just trying to figure out what parts of this engine are choking it of power.
