All I been waiting on is my rods and pistons basically, but I took care of that this morning and then some. here is what I got.
Manley forged 18cc dished pistons
ModMax H beam rods and pins
ModMax rings
ARP 2000 rod bolts
ARP head studs
ARP main studs
FelPro multi layer steel head gaskets
other stuff I already have gotten over the past couple months are:
DSS main girdle
MMR oil pump and pick up
fedral mogul teflon coated main/rod bearings
comp cams stage 2 cams
comp cams valve springs
Mezier electric water pump.
Ram billet aluminum fly wheel
centerforce dual friction clutch.
I am going to port the Eaton my self, and it has a small pulley already not sure what size I havent taken time to look, but all I got left is to get a 6# or 8# lower pulley and stuff for my intercooler like heat exchanger,tank,and pump.

Do you have an ETA on being finished? It's definitely coming along, can't wait to see it at the track!

[Joey5.4]

I hope by April. I am taking a week of vacation the last week in March and I am gonna try to have it put together. I have to have everything balanced and have my ring file fitted so hopefully the machine shop will not hold me up on that.

[ArkansasMystic]

Wow, sounds like good progress.

[Joey5.4]

I hope so. I just got off the phone with Kuntz & co. and they said they arent real busy and they can get it balanced, and rigs filed in a week, so I will hopefully get it to them next week.

Crazy kist! :o :twisted:

[Joey5.4]

I got my rods, rings, head gaskets and all my studs but the pistons was in the box. they are being drop shipped, so hopefully I will get them about Monday so I can get everything to Arkadelphia to be balanced. They said it would be about a week so if I ca get it over there monday, I am off work the week after that so if I get it back that week, about one night and a 30pack it should all go together quick.

Dont you love getting new parts in...it just puts a smile on your face when you see the UPS truck pulling up.

[Joey5.4]

I would have loved it more if my pistons would have been in the box so I could have everything in Arkadelphia right now. but yea, it kinda brings back a little peice of your childhood when I see the brown truck.

[Joey5.4]

Got my pistons in today, and got everything to Arkadelphis. got to go back tomorrow because I forgot to take the pressure plate for the balancing.
Off the subject of my my build... they had a 351 base engine over there, with a aftermarket block witj 449 cubic inches that they dynoed the other day with a dominator carb, and NATURALLY ASPIRATED!!! made 998 HP! all motor! makes my tounge thick thinking about it.

[stumbaugh]

The other day they had a 318 cubic inch destroked windsor that made 738hp at 9600rpm!!!! They said that the guy that the motor belongs to shifts this car at 10,200 rpm. That is sick!!!

[Joey5.4]

good god! those are crotch rocket rpm's lol

Anyhow I took the pressure plate over there today. The way the talk I will be able to pick up everything Friday or Saturday, I am off work next week so I should get everything put together sometime next week.
If anyone knows where I can get a heat exchanger for either a Lightning or terminator stock or aftermarket, a surge tank for the intercooler and a 6 or 8 lb pulley for a Lightning I need them parts to finish everything.

[Blackout_03]

Zak has a 8# lower...I will get a price!

[Blackout_03]

Talked to Zak. Its a LFP 2 piece ring/Hub With a 8# ring. He also has the stock IC coolant tank also if that's what your looking for?
125$ for the pulley and will ask about the tank if that's what you need

30$ for the tank

[Joey5.4]

I'll take the pulley, he have a belt for it? and yea I believe I can make the tank work. rather have one from a cobra, I will take what I can get if he dont want to much.

[Joey5.4]

Well, I picked everything up today all I am waiting on now is a piston ring sleeve to show up on the big brown truck then the peices should start going together.

[stumbaugh]

Uh Oh...sounds like a certain vette better start getting scared.
