Engine build!
Well my motor finally gave way on a pull. She was knocking pretty good. I made it a whole 5 days on E85
I was loving this:
Started taking intake side off:
Got the head off, wasnt too bad:
Disassembled and found all my bearings were good...the rods not so much. #1 and #3 are the bad ones.
Sent head to LSJION for porting (heard great reviews and seen pictures of work). Also getting ZZP 82# valve springs in.
So basically standard engine build using wiseco pistons, eagle rods, ZZP valve springs, and ARP head studs.
Car was 2.8 pulley M62 on E85. Im going to drop to 2.7 on E85.
Then tax time next year TVS will be bought! (or if i come into some money somehow)

I've always wondered what the stock sleeves hold.
As for why people run E-85 it's because it can make a lot more power since it practically doesn't knock. On the down side you get much worse gas mileage and since you're making a significant amount of power over 93 octane pump gas it'll obviously be harder on the engine.

That stuff will remain stock. I might take her to 7500 on the first gear shift (auto) then probably 7200 for the 2nd shift and 7000 for the 3rd.
I can get you $925 for the 3 items I listed above. Just PM me.

You got some ***** if you actually end up reving to 7500 in first. I would say if anything put your limiter lower in 1st than the others because the revs are climbing so fast the cutoff won't be able to slow the engine down til it reaches like 7550-7600
