Update? How's it running? Started tuning yet?

 

She runs great. I have a base tune to break it in. I have a few oil leaks to fix so I have not put a lot of miles on it. The oil cooler -8an fitting was stripped to I replaced that and the valve cover gasket wasnt seated right. Those were barely seeping. I have a leak on the oil pump cover area that I cant seem to pinpoint. After 20 minutes of driving, its a pretty large leak. I just have to take it all apart and reseal everything again.

 

my swap is starting this week. fingers crossed.

 

If anyone have the final bills of the cost of eveything then please PM me. I wanna know how much for everything i need to built and ready to be put in my motor.

 

Plan on 4-5k if not doing your own labor

 

Mine ended up around $4,300

 

Mine was $2700 but I did the labor.

 

X2 with I beams

 

Mario ended up getting free labor as well... Pays to have a certified mechanic as a good friend...

 

very good info!! thanks

 

Anyone have clearance issues with the rods hitting the block? We are and MAP said it was normal that we need to grind the block? Wtf?

 

We're using 156mm Manley turbo tuff rods.

 

Yes, was probably even mentioned in this thread. It's mentioned in most stroker threads.

 

Yeah I found a couple threads. Wish I would have known sooner. I could have had the machine shop do it.

 

It's not difficult to do, no need for a machine shop job. Most important thing is to ensure its thoroughly cleaned
