hey man, i have a few tall blocks here if you want one for the guinea pig. I like the sound of that N/A buildup.. except.. were you gonna get billit (or something) rods made? Those tall block rods aint too beefy..
Let me know when you're up for a shopping spree at CDM

Yeah they aren't that beefy but for the kinda output you'd be making NA I don't think its really too much of an issue. Plus power and torque will peak higher in the rpm range than on a turbo probably. I don't mind using my old tall deck as the guinea pig. If I do start a project like that though it won't be until I have the K running again with a turbo engine.
Currently its looking like I'll be checking out CDM during Spring Break. Do they happen to keep any type of inventory of the cars that they have in the yard? I was thinking I would call them before I drive from Orlando just to get an idea on how many 89+ dodges they have. I am not sure how I am actually going to transport an engine if I find what I am looking for. I might see if I can borrow the truck from my uncle but at the same time if I do that, I wouldn't want to return empty handed if I cannot find what I am looking for. I wouldn't want to have to borrow the truck more than once either.
I also had an insane idea to split the block in half and see if someone could help me man handle it into the hatch of the Hyundai. I am not sure the rear suspension would like that much, and I know that raw 93hp 1.5L wouldn't like it much either. Probably not a good idea.
So thats pretty much my biggest dilema.

Well--------
theres a few things ive learned about using the 2.5 for a high compression engine. I'll share those when/if the day comes for you.
CDM has no real inventory, just if you happen to get someone on the phone that knows what cars he saw come in. But with dodges, they have no idea usually. It would be best to send a scout (me) to inventory the place first.
You may also want to come to my house or something and tear the engine down to make sure everything's ok in it.. saves you the trip of coming back to return it. And the Hyundai would probably pull it.. the engine cant weigh more than 2 friends in the back seat, or 1 big friend! Just dont try to get up to 60 quick!

I'll have to pull the carpet cover out of the back and throw down something. The engine will definitely have to be split in half though otherwise it would be too heavy to lift and using a hoist probably wouldn't work with the hatch clearance.
High comp 2.5 = mild detonation? Weak #1 ring lands? Hmmm

the biggest thing with using the tall block, is that with the rods being so long, the pistons spends quite a bit of time at TDC (and just before and just after).. the increased time it spends there, and then adding in high compression, causes cylinder pressures to go extremely high. Im unsure how high they can go without causing much detonation or bent rods.. :-/

You mean piston dwell? I would figure that has something more to do with the throw on the crank than the overall rod length, but I guess not.
