    LBZ: My turn has come...

    Looking at lds and s&s. I know how exchange rates work, but does any Canadian know how duties and taxes work when stuff hits the border? That or I'm going to need to find some friendly folks on both sides of the border to avoid the extras...

    That was what I thought. Injector shop is guessing my injectors would fail at 400k, $580ea for stock remans. Who makes a quality performance injector? Apparently exergy had some issues or something? Was news to me.

    If I go with another stock motor I will be in the same predicament I am now. I am debating slapping a low mile motor in with no core charge just to keep making money and then building the motor I have now as I get parts. A buddy has a shop I can use and he is willing to help with install. I...

    What's the difference between cast and forged pistons? What's the purpose of ceramic coated tops?

    Winter is coming. I want it bad though lol. The problem with vendors is they are all in the states. It's all US prices. I have to convert at what, 73 cents on the dollar? Plus duties and shipping. When I did my transmission it was an extra 600 bucks shipping on top of what I initially paid...

    If I get a temp truck mine won't get fixed. I either do it now or not at all. I wish I had a shop I could do it all in myself. So many things I could spend the cost of labour on instead.

    Costs definitely run up fast, and the fact it's not as simple as just swapping one out and one in means labor prices will go through the roof. I'm honestly crossing my fingers the cylinder is ok. Would make things a lot less complicated. either way it's gotta come outta the truck, damnit.

    Ok. I have to replace the injectors anyways which was why I was looking to do them and the pump. At 400k the pump was starting to get a little weak, and I hated hitting the rpm limiter on it.

    Conversion costs are going to kill me, if duties at border don't first. Let's shoot for a lower hp goal for now and see where I am at in 5 years maybe lol. I've been dailying on a 150 tune from Kory, might run it on a 230 daily after but realistically it's likely to be a 150. New keyed crank -...

    Does no one use exergy anymore?

    Gotcha. What is your reasoning behind running a stroker over a dual setup?

    If I just build my current block, I'm gonna need injectors. Energy still the way to go? Sportsman cp3 be enough for now? Can use the stock cp3 for dual fuel down the road.

    What all needs to be keyed, just the crank?

    It's only been running at that power level the last 150k. I bought the truck with 236k on it. It's been tuned the last 4 years. Tranny was built at 299k. That will need a refresh down the road as well as some hard part upgrades for the new power. It was build to handle about 550-600hp. No hard...

    This is pretty much where my scatter brain was for logic. The reason for so much attention to the bolt ons is I have now seen first hand what hear does to the internals. I've been running my truck on a 150 tune for dding and a 230 tune at the track. I stopped running my 230 tune due to temps...

    LBZ: My turn has come...

    Ok, seems some clarifying is in order. I had planned to get a used motor and slap bolt ons on to get me by while I tore the old motor down and built the internal stuff on that, then it would be a matter of just swapping that motor back in when I had the time. That said, it might make more sense...

    What is your opinions on the wagler 800hp rotating assembly then?
  19. DaJokr

    LBZ: My turn has come...

    I've always planned on fingers ovals, might look into those with some of the new wagler rods. AF crank or stock keyed crank?

    Wednesday morning I bid farewell to cylinder #2. Looks like I lost an injector and put a hole in the piston. Happy 400k present while out of tow. Yay me! While I may not be doing a full on build yet, I have gotten the green light on a build none the less. I'm budgeting for $25k. That includes...
