Howdy all. New here
I grew up tractor pulling with our farm tractors. Adding turbos to gas and diesel farm tractors and pulling in brush pulls. Family graduated to triple and quad chargered 3208 cat on alcohol. Life happened to me and i've not been around it much for the past 24 years or so. I'm 58 and counting. I know there's' a big difference in building a pulling motor vs a daily driver. This build is for my son who has more dollars than i do. We are putting this in a 1993 Land Rover defender. (yeah, i know). I have read page after page on several different forums, but a lot of conflicting info. I am of thought tho a stock rotating assembly would suffice, year depending on pistons. Studs are a must, so are upgraded push rods, valve springs, injectors and a built injection pump. Would really like input on this type of build. i have not purchased the block yet, so I can go many different directions. Trying to do this on a budget of sorts, so there's that, but will spend what's needed tho. Any and all help needed. all inputs appreciated
Thanks
