Try to guess what i'm doing
So far:
Free '97 shortblock (spun a rod bearing, may or may not use crank based on that)
New Manley H-Beams with ARP rods bolts
SCT Big Air 2400 (pending sale)
255lph Walbro Inline pump, soon to be coupled with 255 intank pump using stock lines
- First of all if I told you guys how cheap I got each of these pieces you wouldn't believe me - so I wont.
- Block has a hot date with MMR starting halfway through December. They've agreed to keep it for awhile after checking to block to see if it need a boring job (4.7L FTW?), and checking the crank. That way they can hold it while I shop around for pistons (.20 over or stock) and maybe crank.
- Not sure what I'm doing for crank right now. May use this one, it may need a thousandth taken off. May find another. May find an 8 bolt cobra crank and have to buy an 8 bolt flex-plate.
- Stock 2000 GT flexplates will work for 8-bolts right?
- I'm taking opinions of what people think I should do. I've researched many routes for this build. I'ma let stangnet have some fun in working through my wallet - especially since there's no rush on this, it's mainly a through '09 build unless I put the shortblock in with my current heads earlier and do boost after that.
- My housemate is trying to get me to go single turbo
- First question: Should I have MMR put in a high flow oil pump while they have it? At what power level is it required.
- To give you guys an idea of power target, refrence the SCT 2400 MAF and stock fuel lines, stock fuel rails, and no fuel tank sump.
~Thanks got the long read~
