The quest for a motor has begun. Any tips?

[QUOTE="oneslo5.0, post: 15429711, member: 146908"] While down in Mexico something broke and I brought a locomotive home. Long story short, I have a 2012 5.0, full bolt on pump gas car that gave up the ghost. I don't baby the car so I guess I can't be too mad. Anyway I did a compression test on the oil soaked 7th cylinder and it held strong at 52 so this is the point I pull the motor. I am a broke new/young homeowner so I can't build a full blown race car like some but I am also going to try and improve what I have and came here for suggestions over my already decided game plan. As of now the motor is in the car, I scoped it and the walls look "ok" but until I get it out I can't tell. I am looking to do a store bore piston. So far I plan on doing piston, H beams, OPG's, bearings, ARP hardware, valve springs. If the motor needs to be bored I will bore it out and sleeve it back to a stock bore but I would rather not. For now(again I am broke lol) the plan is to keep it a motor car on E85 with plans of an adder maybe next year(I am going 10.5:1) and an end goal of 700-750 wheel. Any ideas from people that have done it I would love to hear. [/QUOTE]
