Went ahead and bit the bullet tonight...ordered 3388AF cam, bearings, Chromoly pushrods, and beehive springs/titanium retainers from SoCal! Looks like all that's left is to order a new LML crank and some pistons, once I find out what size to order! Talk about something snowballing...sheesh!
The "might as wells?'
- Thread starter calereeves
- Start date
Absolutely! I'm hoping to find out a general timeline from the machine shop today. I'll be out at Atco as soon as she's back together and tuned.
Heck, sounds like I need to give you a call for tax prep then :hug: The V2 was one of the first things I bought for the truck, way back when. Thanks, though!!
So my parts list thus far includes:
Danville 68mm Stg2R Turbo
Carrillo Forged Rods
Fingers Pistons, Coated, Weight Matched
New LML Crank
ARP Main Studs
ARP Head Studs
SoCal 3388AF Cam
SoCal Beehive Springs, Titanium Retainers, Hardened Cups
SoCal Chromoly Pushrods
Lightweight Rocker Bridges
Master Gasket Set
Main Bearings
Rod Bearings
Cam Bearings
High Flow Y-bridge/Intake
ProFab Manifolds
ProFab Up-Pipes
MBRP Down Pipe
As far as I know, the only remaining items I need to get are a CP3 and injectors, plus some billet injector hold downs. I'll hold off on all of that and let the Amex cool down until after the machinework and assembly are finished
Anybody have suggestions for other supporting parts that I "might as well" go ahead and get? Recommendations on a CP3/Injectors? I think at this point that I'm going to get Chris's (Blackmax123) 60 over injectors as long as his sale time and my buy time line up. Would a 10mm CP3 cut the mustard with this setup and leave room for growth?

What's the reasoning for upgrading the flexplate and damper? As soon as my new LML crank arrives I need to get everything to the machine shop... just dawned on me tonight that it seems like everybody and their mother upgrades both when they build an engine.
What's wrong with the stockers?

The after market dampners simple help with harmonics better is my understanding. And as far as the flex plate flywheels combo stock its a 2 piece design an with the added hp you will break the center out of your flex plate. Any aftermarket ones are all 1 piece so you will just need longer torque converter bolts.
Well then...in the tradition of this build.... might as well call SoCal tonight and place another order.
Those guys make it way too easy to order.... and I figured while I had them on the phone, I might as well go ahead and order billet injector hold downs and main studs. The list continues to grow!
