The Build Progress

[SHOWTIME!!]

Well, i figure i will keep you guys and gals up to date on the build. It is coming along pretty well so far. Everything is unhooked and the engine is ready to be pulled. I ordered all my parts Thursday night, i didnt realize how quick i could spend $4,000 . Here is the parts list that i ordered:

MMR 7qt oil pan
MMR Oil pump
ARP headstud kit
MLS head gaskets
MMR full gasket set
Long Tubes
O/R X
AEM wideband
C pillar gauge pod
Oil pressure gauge
Bottle pressure gauge
MMR windage tray
255lph fuel pump and regulator
Custom built MMR/manley pistons
All bearings, piston rings and so on
Timing chain assembly
HiTech stage 2 cams

I still have to buy an intake, injectors, mass air, Heads, and a tune. Im thinking about going with the Fox Lake P-51 inake instead of the victor jr. I think with the victor jr i would lose to much bottom end. Im going with some 24lbs injectors, and an Pro-M mass air meter. As for heads, i am getting some PI heads that have been hogged out to the max, they flow 256cfm at .550. Im just hoping that it runs pretty decent. I will be spraying 200 to it once i get the chassis/rear end work done.

Nice parts list, might want to consider selling a kidney and donating sperm if you still got that many parts to go...


For what it's worth, Hitech STG-II's and heavily ported PI heads may not be the best combination. The cams characteristics are designed to make the most of the stock head, concentrating more on the intake side rather than the exhaust.

Might want to do some research about it, as you will probably find more than I know... I'm not trying to sway you from Hitech cams or ported heads at all, but it's worth looking into it to get the most hp/$.

I went out horsing around the another night and sprayed it and the fuel pump was going out and i didnt know it so it leaned it out and blew up. So i decided to do a full build on it.

The waiting game is the hardest to do--it'll seem like its taking forever for all those parts to come in
