Performance engine rebuild
Long story short, 2000 xj, cracked head, I think the coolant/oil mix ate some of the bearings. Swapped a new motor in and now I have this old motor sitting here. I'm considering building it for my buggy project which means it's getting supercharged and water/meth injection. Anyone recommended a good kit for a rebuild? I plan on going with forged internals.
Also curious if the ho block is strong enough to handle boost. I was told the remix blocks were better for stroker/forces induction builds

"HO Block" is fine for boost. A few people on here have blown and turbocharged 1999s.
Renix fuel system is easier to adapt to deliver more fuel with minor mods.

Anyone who has boosted/blown a straight 6, what are your numbers? I'm thinking of doing a 4.6 stroker plus 10psi on an eaton blower and probably water/meth with a tuned ecu.
