LB7: Mild Build...

[Jackblack99]

Rods are done and headed back from crower today, i picked up a SoCal torque plate cause my local machine shop didnt have one for dmax.. And i got these today....

Thanks Scott! Can't wait to get this thing back together!!! It should be going to machine shop as soon as my rods get back.

i guess if they hold up in your motor and mine,they should hold in most. :thumb:

 

[Jackblack99]

Yep id hope so! Ill put em to the test.. Believe that!! I dont plan on pu$$y footing around with this thing once she's broken in!!

Who are you using for machine work?

 

[Jackblack99]

Mark at Nye's in muncie.

 

[Jackblack99]

well... i got my torque plate finally. now im ready to go to the machine shop.. just gotta get some more money together for a few more things and it will be go time

 

[DIESELMAFIAPER.LB7]

Wanna sell it when your done lol! (Tq plate)

 

[Jackblack99]

HAHA. The machine shop is buying/trading me for it. They are going to cut me a deal on my machine work and in turn im going to let them keep it.

 

[Jackblack99]

well after pricing my injectors, pumps and a few other little pieces.. I feel as if I'll never get this thing done..

 

[adeso]

yea I feel you. I had to run a single stock cp3 for a while. you can always add a lot of the bolt on stuff a year from now

 

[Jackblack99]

I suppose so but damn that would suck to have to tear it back down...

 

[adeso]

you don't have to tear anything down for the second CP3, it is an afternoon add on

 

[Jackblack99]

Yea but the injectors i want would require tear down and im sure i couldnt run the ones i want with my 30% cp3

 

[Jackblack99]

Got my dual Cp3 controller today.. now I just need to buy or make a bracket and buy a pulley and hard line.

Yea but the injectors i want would require tear down and im sure i couldnt run the ones i want with my 30% cp3

I ran 60 overs on a stock LB7 CP3 with 100,000 miles on it just fine. Just won't have the same HP as the dual fuelers

 

[Jackblack99]

Thats good to know. But i got my dual cp3 controller the other day. And im working on getting the rest of the dual cp3 stuff now.

 

[Jackblack99]

Cam will be here tues or wed as will my dual cp3 kit. Hauled the truck to my uncles shop so i can start working on it. Ill be taking stuff to the machine shop in the next week. Im gonna go ahead and start prepping the frot clip for paint to since its all off. I also got a 75mm cover and wheel for my s400.

Just need to clean the cover and smooth it out for paint

And the 72mm cover and wheel

 

[Jscherbs]

Sounds like a solid build! ill be going a similar route eventually so post all of your findings.

 

[Jackblack99]

Thanks. I hope it all comes out as good as the vision in my head.

I was talking to chad at empire today and telling him that I was going to drag race my truck. He said that with my truck being a manual, jamming gears drag racing will put forward thrust on the crank and that I should go with billet main caps so it wont destroy the thrust bearings and break crap. any input on that?
