Neutral Balance Shafts. ZZP sells some good ones. GM does too but they're way more money and take longer to get.

Find someone that can port the head.

These two things are absolute musts.

 

Nice. Looks like mine but I am going with k1 rods. Are you going to get the rotating assembly balanced? My buddie and I are doing mine.

 

ZZP went back to a regular head and make plenty of power, I don't think a port job is needed.

 

That's cute. haha

 

Also all the bolts that hold the crank in say they are torque to yield and should be replaced.

 

**** the mains are..... I looked past that when he showed the list. Damn..

Nick, you can get those from Chevy, not sure of other places to buy them. I think they were 4 dollars a bolt...

 

Double check me, but I am pretty sure. I was just glancing through some stuff and thought I seen that. I think ced has them for like 30 or so. I haven't bought bolts yet.

 

Well there are 20 of them so if they are 30 I got fucked. haha

The main bolts are TTY I am sure of that. I dont think the ten others on the outside of the cradle are...


Edit: I guess the 10 are TTY..

Nick you need these:

And 11519783, they dont have it on the website.. I think these are the 20 mains.. Not positive though.

The LNF is a 4 bolt main like the LSJ right?

 

whats your goal power wise and time wise? and 13.0 was on stock turbo right?

 

Looks interesting. Good luck with the build!

 

I am going over to the shop tomarrow hopfully. I will check price for me and see if I could get them cheaper. I will pm you and let you know.

 

Cool. Sounds good. Let us know right away because if we are starting this in a week we need to get those ordered ASAP so we can put this all back together...

I think it was stock turbo with a different tune pre E85 and pre meth.

 

ok thanks cmiller i will order the bolts today. i going to be going with a precision 5857 looking for 500hp. 13.0 @ 110 was what i did last year on a pyskosteve tune and bolt ons i put down 305/350 before switching to terminator/trifecta tune and e85 with methanol injection now im putting down 351/393 and my stock clutch is slipping bad.

 

Good luck, looks like you've got the right parts for a nice build. Keep us posted on the progress of the build some pics would be nice

 

Can anyone chime in. I have read on the Wiseco site that the piston rings provided with the pistons are pre gapped, can anyone confirm?

 

sub'd

 

Well be plenty of pics

 

Tons of pictures! I took over 1500 I think when I did my build.

Bump for post #17

 

I can see it now. 1500 pics equals 15 extra days worth of time

 

Damn you, I have been up for 4 hours.

 

Yah Im living it up before I start working 7 to 6

 

A cup of coffee and CSS.net. What a way to start your day. Whats wrong with me

 

im always on here when im at work
