Rebuild help

I blew the engine in my car Sunday and will be replacing it with a 416ci. My car is an auto and I already have a stall in it. What upgrades should I do while I have the engine out? I am going to install a DTE brace and electric cutouts so I need to find out who has the best deal on this material. The car has 10K miles on it so everything is pretty new.

Well I found out they do not sell a DTE brace for my car so that is out of the question. Any and all suggestions are welcome!!!

The autos will start spitting there guts out at right around 500rwhp. So if you plan on making more than that be ready to go stronger. I would have it built up now along with the differential if I could afford it.

I just had an RPM A6 Diff installed. Runs great.

I'd look at increasing your cooling capacity if you are adding cubes and running a stall. DeWitts radiator or maybe a take take-out Z06.

How did you toast your motor?

That is great advise! I bought a new Dewitt radiator this morning.

What about the Polly engine motor mounts?
