bump lol still waiting ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

hey man this should be a nice build.. just wondering do you know what the stock rods can take for power?

 

the gm performance book says well over 300hp

 

400...maybe little more maybe little less. No one has yet to really show the limits of them.

 

kk cool thanks guys.. keep it up this is going to be a good build

 

thank u

 

support my build

 

md bump for you...good luck with the build

 

thanks man ill keep u updated

 

Allright guys the exedy clutch came in today so where getting closer. I contacted Diamond and they said my pistons are done there just waiting for the piston ring set to come in which he said it will only take a day or two and then they will ship it to the machine shop and once the machine shop has them then i can get the engine back and start to build it yaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

Can i borrow some money, you seem to have alot of it lately, lol.... Hope evrything comes in for you soon!!!

I just read your sig and noticed the over bore part. Are you overboring stock sleeves or going with Bates/Dartons?

Over bore on an open deck design is bad idea. Better off getting OEM replacements cheap from GM.

 

no i just did the stock ones lol i have done two other ecotecs just as longs as i dont go to big it will be ok lol

 

allright guys i oredered rod bearings, crank bearings, exhaust gasket, intake gasket, rear main seal, supercharger gasket, and valve cover gasket, and a water pump seal if there is anything i missed could someone please tell me

Also car is down getting body kit on so i will have it back this week and ill post pictures

thanks

Oh god. Prepare to lose ass amounts of power if you went with 8.5:1.
