Atomic,
Thanks for the kind words I really appreciate it. Being disabled I have a lot of time on my hands so when I do stuff I try to take tons of pictures and I like to share.

HeyYou,
Knock your self out, I have no issues if you want to change my thread title. You can have a little fun with the title if you want, I'm a good sport.

redneck,
I thought you didn't like HiPoTek? He's the only place I know of to get them.

 

he was trying to sell me a cam that wasnt very good for what i was looking for. however, im in love with those rails....,

 

Hey Wildman,
I just read through the 19 pages of posts on this build, good stuff. I was wondering what shop did your motor work? You mentioned it was in yakima, what was the name of the shop? Did you have good results with them? I am just down the road in Ellensburg and am looking to do some work maybe in the next year or so.

Also, do you have any performance parts for the 5.2 laying around? Looking to do the usual bolt on mods first, figured since you were only 20 miles away I would take a shot at it.

 

AppelH,
Hehehehe,
I'm not as far away as you might think. I live off exit 93 so I'm like 13 miles from Eburg.. The only performance parts that are not being reused on my new engine is the dual air cleaner intake.



Also the keg under it already has had the Hughes Engine plenum plate. The machine shop I went to is in Sehla. It's name is R&Q and they did great work on my stuff. They are a full blown machine shop too so can do pretty much anything you want/need for your engine.

 

I see a m/t spot on the front of that motor you should put something there lol. Just razz'n you there big guy. Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

 

I have never seen an intake like that. Is it custom? See any results with it?

 

And i think I'm going to need the plenum fix too but I don't know if you would separate it from the keg

 

Appelh,
No it isn't a custom part. A company called Turbo City makes parts for 4x4's. They call them the Rock It parts. They don't make this intake anymore but here is a link to the stuff they make now. http://www.turbocity.com/default.php?cPath=17_25

As far as the plenum goes you can have the whole keg since I don't need it any more. I'd take $75 for it. And if you want the intake too I'd let it go for $75 also because it needs new filters. The mice got to the ones on there so they are no good.

Wildman,
great thread. I'm planning on doing a simple rebuild on my 360 when I return stateside, so I appreciate the info and links.
