5.7 hemi build

I took my block to the machine shop 2 miles away. He checked each cylinder and said 30 over would be plenty. He wont bore a block without the pistons. Each piston gets fit to a cylinder and stays with the cylinder. The old man has been doing head work and boring blocks since before i was born, he knows what he is doing.

Thought i would update this old thread i started. Just now have the exhaust sorted out (eveything taking longer then expected). Pacesetter long tubes dont fit a 2500 5.7 at all. Bought them and tried using spacers on the motor mounts but that was not enough to make them fit. Ended up getting american racing headers and got them ceramic coated. They fit the 2500 very well like they should. Block for the motor build is bored for the new pistons. Still need a lot of parts before assembly. Big hold up was knowing if i could tune the 04 pcm for the mods. Settled on hp tuners mpvi2. All my searches pointed towards diablo but i wasnt confident in its ability to let me tune, didnt want to have to spend money and wait for email tunes. So its been a long slow process but its starting to move along again.
