paint94979's engine build thread

[paint94979]

I'm going to run it one last time on the stock engine then pull it out . Im pondering everthing except rod selection. I would really like to run Fingers pistons but at 1600$ plus rings and pins id rather just go forged. It's getting a girdle, standard head studs, main studs and 60% over injectors from Exergy. More info to follow

Ok who's thinks Nick will have his motor back in and running before Casper sees the track again? Lol

You stayin with 1 cp3 or going dual?

 

[Akdiesel]

If he builds himself his grand kids will probably have to finish it...how long did a turbo take?

I will be sticking with the Wicked Diesel pump for now. My emphasis will be on truck setup rather than power. Anyone can make power but getting it to hook is another thing...

 

[ChevyDieselLLY]

I couldn't agree with you more. You already have a good setup just need rods to complete it really.

As my truck sits now it has qa1 single adjustables in the front, caltracs and 3" drop shackles. I'm pretty sure ill add qa1's to the rear as well.

What are you shooting for Nick? Low 10 daily driver?

I would like to be competitive in the Super Street class... Mid to high 10 would make me happy

 

[TheBac]

Before I vote, some questions:


Do you already have the funds, or is this a "build as you get $$" thing?

How long do you plan to take to decide on rod type?

Who's going to be helping you build the engine?

 

[paint94979]

I'm going with Carrillo's Tom. I'm gonna pull the engine at a shop with a lift so hopefully it will go as smooth as can be, but this is my truck and you never know lol
