Adam you forgot pistons

for 700hp? not really.. honestly piston IMO are a crap shoot. and they will crack from a 60hp tune to a XXXXhp tune.

Thanks so much

another thing that you might be happy about is it si very easy to build on top of this setup..
ie heads, cam, injectors and other things that would be almost essetial for a 1000+rwhp setup

def sounds like you got a good idea and an easily project

Adam he's using a LBZ I cracked at around 600, And he wants more then that.

true. but you were runing a single not twins. form what i have seen and read twin seam to be easier on everything more so than a big single...

 

[ripmf666]

I was also running a single cp3, He want to run twins, So why not change the pistons while you in there changing the rods.

 

[malibu795]

not saying he cant.
~1500 for cast LB7LLY piston.
or ~3000 for fordge pistons

 

[ripmf666]

2185 for cut and coated LB7's and 2500 for not coated mahle forged ones also I dont think that comes with rings or pins.but the first set does.

 

[malibu795]

oops last i head oem cast were ~180 each.

 

[ripmf666]

I just got mine and the rods, hope to have everything this week to start rebuilding it lol.

[malibu795]
