    I'm going to let him do it how he prefers, but if there was even a slight possibility I was going to spin more rpm's and run race oil down the road I wouldn't hesitate. Either way thanks for the input, it's something I didn't know so I learned a little more.

    I run 15w-40 synthetic oil and 3600 rpms max.

    I asked him what he used and should I use the screw in. This is what he said.. Oem factory. Never use thread in. Waste of time and money, ran 150+psi of oil on factory freeze plugs, no leaks

    Is this something I should request of the short block builder?

    This is really good info. DHD won't be installing the cooler/pans/pump

    He said something about the pin holes being all the way through the shaft and them falling out. I'm not sure exactly

    Guys, what kind of oil pump should I be looking at for this new engine? My mechanic told me the pins are falling out of the wagler pinned oil pumps, he has pulled some apart like that. I know the mellings had some issues spinning loose on a cold start under higher pressure. What else is there?

    You only made it 3 months on a built motor? That sucks, what happened?

    Are you running your stock junkyard motor at stock power Josh?

    Ya'll are going to hate me haha, but I spent some more time on the phone with Evan over at DHD today. We discussed how I could get the cost down to closer to where I wanted to be and settled on something that made me very happy. So I'm sending him a check tomorrow :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: don't...

    I said it "looks like" dhd will be building it. But I was going to try to pull the trigger on something today and I changed my mind last minute...I did nail down a path, I found a deal on a junkyard engine I'm not willing to pass up. If I'm going to get jumped about it I'd just rather not post...

    I don't have the fuel and air to get the good out of a 1,000 hp engine anyways, sorry to disappoint you guys but $20,000 worth of engine parts and another cp3 and turbo just isn't in the budget. I'll run the junkyard stocker at 650 for however long it'll last. My last stocker done me good..

    I called a local junkyard, I can pick up a lbz engine with 110K on it for $5,000 complete with injectors and turbo ready to go. By the time I sell the injector cores and stock turbo I'll have around $4,000 in the longblock. Think I'm going that route

    What about head work, I know I need springs around 750 give or take a little. How do the stock pushrods and rockers do?

    I did not realize Callies has a narrow rod journal crank. Why is it so much cheaper than the Socal crank? The Callies crank I might could actually squeeze into the budget...

    So let me get this straight.. higher horsepower trucks must beat cranks up a lot worse correct? Because personally I know of 5 or 6 lbz's and lmm's, running around here on stock motors that have anywhere between 250,000 and 450,000 miles on them and most of that has been towing. So it seems...

    Should I use my already keyed cam with a callies crank? Or buy an AF
