stock bottom end

[upnsmoke]

Hi. In trying to make my 2.0 run right I have come across several issues, wiped cam, bad lifters, etc, that lead me into a full on rebuild. While apart I ported the head and stock intake a little. I am going all aftermarket with the valvetrain, considering a lunati cam with 218/218 at .050. Whether I go with that or something milder will depend mostly on how high I can wing the stock bottom end. For that cam to be any good I would think the motor would see 6500, but I dont want to bother with aftermarket rods and pistons and I dont know if stock stuff will hold up. Any knowledge on the matter will help me. thanks.

Your bottom end isn't really going to be a limiting factor on how high you can spin it... Your valvetrain will be...

We turn the race truck about 6200 with a stock bottom end.A couple guys that run a carb on a stock 93 bottom,will turn about 7200 but they have a little better springs and cam than us.Heres a picture of our race truck for the year http://www.turn4photos.com/2010-Thunder-Alley/Feature-Winners-08-14-10/13342837_XTzjs#969929278_cQves-A-LB

Valvetrain will definitely be fine. I take it from what you say that the bottom end will hold up over 6k? If so, I am going ahead with the cam I mentioned.
