Yes, help me choose stuff
so far I'm doing:Carrillo Rods
Finger Oval pistons
Arp head and main studs
Keyed crank and cam
Ati damper
16.5:1 compression ratio or 16.9:1? Closest to stock
Where would I find a gasket kit that has everything I need? I'm sure I'm missing something too so tell me if I am
also billet flex plate, arp's for that, girdle, billet holddowns, rocker studs, hamilton springs, chromoly pushrods....just thinkin off the top of my head

Henry has a complete gasket set....check out Creatures of the night....he is a vendor here:thumb:
Okay so I realized 1100 hp is a little unrealistic for my build, after all i don't want to spend all this money then have to buy new parts if something goes at 1100 hp. What if I say 850 hp then i can just run my 72mm VGT turbo and call it a day. I won't need a girdle for that will I? What would you guys recommend for a 850 hp build? 700-750 daily driver
mild builds would be around 10g's if you had someone do it, you could prob do stock cut and coated slugs, carrillos, head and main studs, keyed crank and cam, all internally balanced, stock heads flow enough for 1000hp so I would just get em decked and all the other small things but u get the idea, then obv throw some big fuel at it
I'm pretty set on finger bowl pistons haha. And how much do you think it would be if I did it myself? Would you have a shop assemble the short block or do it yourself? Is it pretty straight forward?
fingers are nice and if you can afford it I would get em....I wanna run em when I start my build. Have you ever built an engine?
No I haven't build an engine but ya got to start somewhere... I understand how a diesel works, and am very mechanically inclined if there is some type of DIY or tips along the way.
theres lots of people on here that can help but I just dont know if thats something I would want to tackle......just because im sure I could do it but theres always gonna be that voice in the back of my head wondering if I did some little thing right u know I dont wanna invest that much money into a build to have it blow up bc I did some little thing wrong or didnt break it in right.....thats just me tho
Yea I'm not too worried about putting it together as I've got a lot of help from friends, I'm just worried about getting everything right before I build it. Ill start a new build thread.
my build I will have 8-10 k into mine ill have....
carrillos
.020" mahles 16.5 comp ratio
main studs
60-100 overs
all new gaskets ect
keyed crank & cam
manifolds and up-pipes
screw in cups
rebuilt heads
machine work
I already have billet flexplate, dual pumps, 66/480 billet/bat, head studs and 45% overs that are getting worked over. I wouldn't hesitate to push it to 1k couple times

ding ding ding!
I like the idea of a tight AR on the HP turbo with a big gate, then triples to get on top of the primaries easy for something that will be a DD
