METH HEAD
I am almost done building my new motor. I started onMonday have run in to several snags. Here is what the build will consist of:
Stock block .040 over with 4-bolt conversion
Forged Crower crank with small journals
6.0" Eagle rods
custom JE pistons 8.4:1
KB cam (I know its old but it works)
Vortec heads ported with 2.02's
Crane gold 1.6 rockers
52mm Throttle body
PT67GTQ
3" RPM DP with ITS WG
3600 stall converter
I am hoping this time to keep this thing in one piece for a couple years. Here are some pics I took of the build up
I am having problems with the driver side exhaust manifold. I had to take it to get welded (had a crack). I also had an issue with my machine shop and their ordering skills. They ordered an M Select pump with a 3/4" inlet. My tube had a 5/8". I mean really, they had it right there, how did they not notice this when they ordered? :roll: So once I get that stuff tomorrow and go pick up my re-stalled converter, I will plan on having the motor back in the truck by Saturday.
