    Doing heads and water pump

    I made this about a year or so ago. Its a 1 inch solid piece of steel 3 feet long with a socket welded to it. It took that and a pipe on it to get mine off.

    How low are you wanting to go? You could just put lowering shackles on it and keep all your leaf springs

    Rod and Piston weight matching

    Engine machining is already done and was done with a torque plate and was align honed with main studs. So that part is already done.

    Rod and Piston weight matching

    Ok thanks for the info. The guy thats doing it is really sharp and has done machining/balancing for my dad and myself in the past but im gonna be a lil picky on this build do to the sheer cost of one of these engines. A lil different from a sbc/bbc to a duramax. Is getting within a couple...

    My lly build parts list

    i think most of the standard upgraded push rods are around .080 or so for wall thickness. And you can get them for around 300$ depending on company. You can get thicker ones but they get up there in price closer to 500 to 600 from what ive seen. I see alot of merchant push rods in people sigs so...

    My lly build parts list

    Sounds like youve got a good list started. Girdle opinions vary 850 you would be fine without one but 1000hp and up definately wouldnt hurt im running one in my build but im not running billet main caps just main studs and girdle. Most people use a stock oil pump and any of these...

    Rod and Piston weight matching

    Hey guys i was curious where you would take material from on a mahle race cast piston and a crower rod to do weight matching for engine balancing? Im going to have my rotating assembly balanced soon and would like to get your opinions on that, Thanks

    Installed EBay grille insert, what do you think?

    Im not sure if they offer that grille with smaller mesh. I didnt see any on ebay when i bought this one but they might have some.

    Installed EBay grille insert, what do you think?

    No offense taken here. I am happy with it so i guess thats what counts.. You can see through it pretty good but i think with the condenser on it it wont be as noticeable through there. The light was shining just right when i took the picture really made the intercooler stand out.

    Installed EBay grille insert, what do you think?
