LB7: Mild Build...

[Jackblack99]

Well, I have finally gathered the majority of the parts I need/want to do my build. I dont know how many of you seen the thread I started late last year, but I had the truck 3 weeks and the crank broke. So I have just slowly been gathering parts to do a mild build. I figured I would start a thread, get some suggestions and post some pics. Cause we all love pics!!

A few of the broken stuff





And now for some of the good stuff!!
Crower Rods

Arp Main studs

Clevite H bearings

Gasket Set

ATI damper

SoCal Springs/Keepers

Mahle Performance Cast pistons

And S471



I also have MA push rods. My Buddy Ty is a fabricator by trade. So he is going to build me some stainless manifolds, up pipes and pedestal. I dont have any injectors or pumps yet. But plan on going with some 75-100% overs and dual stock pumps. Let me know what you guys think. If I am missing anything let me know. Thanks!

[Jackblack99]

I knew I forgot something!! I have those as well!! Just for got to toss that in the 1st post!!

Key the cam and crank.

 

[Jackblack99]

That will be done when I get all the machine work done!

 

[Jackblack99]

I guess I should have slowed down and made sure I covered all my parts huh?!

 

[TROJAN366]

You got all the main stuff. And I'm sure more will come up as you start building it.

 

[Jackblack99]

Oh I'm sure!!

Looks good how much in parts do you have so far?

 

[dirty_max]

what kind of pistons are those? everything looks good.

 

[Jackblack99]

catman.. im not sure.. i probably dont want to know.

dirty max.. they are mahle performance cast .020

 

[catman3126]

Haha ok

 

[Jackblack99]

I have a lot... but not as much as I probably should. I found some good deals on parts.

 

[MAXX IT OUT]

If you are feeling rich, screw in injector cups from Industrial Injection.

 

[Jackblack99]

Yea im about done buying stuff for it. Atleast big stuff anyway other than injectors and pumps. Plus heads are already done. Im going to use studs on the rockers and injector hold downs.

 

[Jackblack99]

Still undecided on injectors. I wnt enough injector that i could put compounds on at a later date if i wanted.

Have fun,looks like the right parts.

 

[Jackblack99]

Thanks. I hope it runs good!

 

[Jackblack99]

What are everyones thoughts on A1 head studs? I can get them for a good deal through work. I can get ARP's too but I can get the A1's cheaper.

Got my arp's for 555 shipped. Bout the cheapest you can get.
