LB7: Lb7 building and cost

[Vmyrhaug]

Plan for the future:
700-750rwhp.
i'm thinking of compound turbo setup.
the truck i bone stock and around 80k miles.
trans need too be build, and i've have too do the work myself,
I've live in Norway, and not so many can help me with the parts and experince here.

what do i need too upgrade?
what is the best parts too use?
and what parts i most cost effencie too use?

it's very nice if you write down the price for the parts also

sorry for my bad english, i'm a norwegian!!!

What kind of budget do you have? I remember Mika (From Finland) saying the shipping was very expensive on the heavy parts.

You might send Mika a PM. I know he got out of the Duramax stuff but he may still have a bunch of it around his shop?

Evan at limitless diesel would most likely be able to help you with the trans.

You're going to have to build the bottom end up on the LB7 and will have to run a stroked injection pump or duels

Save up 25000 then you are ready to have a decent start.

the shipping on heavy parts are expensive yes.
budget? what?
that's why am asking for what part's who is best too use for the goal. then i can put down a budget

also, the car is an daily driver, hauling some trailer(about 6000lbs) and will be used a little for drag racing, not much, just for fun

i've talked too evan. and in the future the trans parts will bee from him

for example, carrillo rods, will be the best, but is there anything else out there who support 750rwhp? and the price?
doo i need tho change the piston? price? best compression rate?

i have a goal. 750rwhp. what parts do i need for this target?

Budget 30k at least. Stock turbo with s475 on top, 10mm cp3 an some 60% injectors will get you to your goal

Yep, save 25k, find your builder and fly him up, then you'll be good to go.

i'm going too build myself.
i have 14 year of experience with service and repair of Cat equipment.
done a lot of engines, also trans and axels.

also have a Nissan 240sx track car with skyline engine, self build.

so no worries about building myself, but need too know what parts is best too use

25000 is you doing work yourself. Do a little searching on here to determine parts. Many build threads.

The real question is do you want to do it once or multiple times? Over build it and you may not have to do much more with it. Building it for your goal if 750 hp won't get it if you decide to turn it up more. Pistons I would use either Fingers ovals or the new forged Diamonds with steel ring lands. They cost more but should be almost indestructible. Carillo's rods or Howard's rods. Use a new keyed crank if you are on a budget or the new Callie's crank if you want it to last longer. It's expensive any way you go so make wise choices.
