Good luck with your build.
Id wait on damper imo im going back with stock but build sounds soild
Damiam make sure they key your cam/crank. Newlys 1st engine still had a pressed in dowel..
Looks like you set a deadline for my build to be done as well Damian!! Good luck with everything! Hopefully we'll be racing together at the tuff truck!
Is it safe to say at least two of us are rolling the dice with stock shafts in them transmissions?
nope cause im still on stock hard parts in mine and pretty damn sure they will hold beyond my power level after all the bad defuel it had years back
James what do you suppose the ceiling is on stock shafts? I've heard numbers thrown around like 850-900....I'm guessing like other hard parts they will fail different people @ different power levels? Hope you can come to race with us James!
Wish i had another set of screw in cups but my machine shop is so behind its going to be awhile,Might want to look into a set from II wouldnt be that bad to install while the heads are off.Can any of you guys chime in on what you think I should buy or skip as far as the heads go? Upgraded springs are a definite. How about Merchants chromoly pushrods? Ti retainers? Cups? How will da twins affect my head needs besides springs?
