You are getting one HELL of a deal if you're getting the tear down and re-assemble for only $700! It may depend some if you're an LB7 or LLY (LB7's are harder to get to the injectors and such) but that is still damn cheap.
Engine
- Thread starter ecc_33
- Start date
Here is what I have.
Rods 2700
Main and Head Studs 925
Bearings and Rings 600
Head gaskets and seals 400
Valve springs, seats, retainers 856
Balancing and line hone 430
GT42 1100
PPE mount kit 1600
CP3 X 2 2000
injectors 1400
That = 12011
That does not include the engine, all the machine work I did, all parts I made, or any of the labor.
John sounds like your going to have a nice build
what type of injectors are you going to use?
and what is your opinion on heads?
Thanks Simon
Glad to here your back into a LB7:hug:
I have three sets of injectors right know. Stockers, ATS 40%, and F1 SUPERBIG MOFOs.
Break in with stockers and then I will start switching and tuning.
As far as heads mine are unported. I have all the good stuff piled on top of them. Socal springs, Ti Retainers, spring cups, my own rocker bridges, and EEP pushrods. While I like the idea of ported heads I did not like the idea of heavier valves. With the zero angle and the shrouding caused by a flat head (ie no chamber) I really did not think the added mass was worth the gain. But that is just my humble opinion. I was considering Socal Stage 1s. I still might try them if I cant get what I want from the stock castings.
My decision to not run ported casting was made after a lot of discussion with Drew at EEP and Guy at Socal. Dodges guys are making 800 to 900 and maybe more with a stock head. Are Dmax heads flow far better than a CTD head. Drew told me that one Dmax head would flow air almost as much a CTD. Now I am not saying that Guys heads are worth the money. they are very nice. I am very happy with all the parts Guy sold me.
