Rebuild starting back up

Got a great deal on some barely used Eagle rods from Mike @ RPM. Thanks Mike! Will be taking those to the machine shop tomorrow and telling the shop to start back up on the block. So will be ordering Pistons, rings, bearings, block clearanced for the rods, etc. Cyls look good but planing a .030 bore with a torque plate anyway so things are straight and true. Block will be "-0-" decked. So getting real close to cam and turbo combo decision. Best way to state the goal is a solid 12 sec truck that runs every day and hopefully :lol: does it on less than 20# of boost, 50# injs, Vortec's, and some kind of tune. Leaning toward $59.

Anyway, just an update but comments always welcome.

With the inconsistancy of the 50#ers , have you thought about the 60 or 65's that seem to be more popular nowadays ?

I agree with King! Get the Siemens/Deka 60's and you will be happy! I bet you can get a set for less than $300

Re: Rebuild starting back up

Weeelll, I got a new set of 50's and injs aren't that hard to change. What if I start with those? Or am I just wasting my time trying to tune to them. IOW What's been "inconsistant" about the 50's?
