thank you sir!

 

Your Welcome big guy. I am looking forward to seeing your new parts, and hearing your op when this work is done.

Edit: If that t chain was mine I would be sending it back for a new one asap, dyno run chain could and would be put to the test and to it's limits, that's just my op.

 

im gonna start takin pis today. i havent gotten everything in yet, but most of the parts are here. everything else should be here tuesday. minus the heads, dunno when they will be here. and the engine stand, thatll be here friday.

edit: i got enough stickers here to add at least 1k hp. but instead theyre going on the tool box!

 

so im sitting here wondering.... will the stock valve covers work with my set-up, or should i get a new set?

the max lift is .510 intake and exhaust. so what do you guys think?

also, im going to be ordering a new water pump, oil pump, and all appropriate parts for each... is there anything else im missing? obviously ill still need a thermostat, and gasket, should i get a new coolant temp sender too, or no?

 

Your stock v/c will be fine, only need to go to a taller v/c if you use adjustable rockers.

Edit: La v/c will work on our magnum motors, much cheaper and more selection, just use a damn good gasket with the La v/c.

 

you sure about that. la valve covers have less holes in them.

so when are we getting some pictures?

 

^^^ Go do a search for yourself. Hence the get a good gasket.

 

what would you consider a "damn good gasket"?

 

Mopar Performance or Felpro. I am seriously stuck on the Mopar performance gaskets, they are not the same as just Mopar gaskets, much better.

Edit: Just no cork junk gaskets.

 

I would normally recommend FelPro, but not sure on using the LA covers and what gasket would work. Could one drill additional holes in cover to make it match?

But pics are WAY overdue, redneck!
