Well i overlooked an issue, i pulled the cam out and one of the cam bearing looks like a rock got stuck in it and ripped it to shreds.. so i just got home from a 2 hour trip finding a set of bearings, they are in the freezer right now. Photos follow with photos of the meesed up bearing and all the parts waiting to go on. If this didnt happen i could of had this baby started up tonight, but now i have to wait till tomorrow.

looks and sonds great ! ! nice job , i wish i could rip and build a motor like that , how it feel driving ?? can you do some interior and exterior revs and drive offs ?

 

Well there is your problem- you have got rats, RATS I say!

 

so how much was the engine built total ? and whats the bang for the buck !

 

To much, but it was worth it...

 

how would my truck respond with 2.02 heads with the mods in my sig.. was looking at clearwater heads. and then i was going to do the airgap and prob be done till i have to do a motor rebuild . i also have stock 3.55 gearing

 

2.02 would be over kill with no cam. 1.92 might make a difference, but i would do a cam the same time as the heads, and if you do a cam/head swap, you will need to re-gear the rear to maybe 3.92s or 4.10s, and get a stall.. depending on cam around 2800-3000stall for the street.

 

im just looking to redo my top end , i have 1.7 already , im not looking to do a cam unless i stroke it to 408, i just want bigger heads and the airgap and call it quits and get the gears .
