i was thinking a eta stroker :D . but then i got told that we could jam my m30 3.5L block in:shifty but that would require engineer's cert's.
now i am stuck between the two and don't know what to do:mad

Its doable, the m30, so is the stroker, or even an m50 engine. Its up to you to do what you think is best.

well i have a eta block here and a full m30 3.5 but which one has more potential. i am thinking that the m30 will give me more torque but weighs a lot more?

I'm a big fan of staying away from the weight. I'd much rather drive a lighter car with less torque/HP than a heavy car with more. The torque/HP only affects acceleration but the extra weight will affect handling and braking as well.

Build yourself a nice M20 stroker.
