Anyone who has been here long enough may remember about a year ago asking tons of questions about engine options. I took a year, because of time and money mostly, but it is finally done. I tore down my 94 2.5 and started from scratch basically. I bored the block 60, ran forged pistons, had clifford make me a custom cam, hydro lifters, double valvle springs, hardened push rods and valve locks, head was ported and polished, deck was shaved to get 10.5-1 compression, 10/10 crank, all tri-metal bearings, borla header, poweraid tbs, high flow water and oil pumps, cromoly rings, sanded and shot-peened connecting rods, 8mm wires and blaster coil. I think that is about when I ran out of money but the motor is incredible now. It runs best in high rpm and runs to about 6500. The only problem I have now is the tranny is having syncro problems, I think. I have to tear it down but if you don't want to use force induction this is a good solution. My milage is about 15-20 depending. It has more power than my 4.0 does.
