Thread: My turn. MD build #2

2.5 inch secondary SSAC header. ceramic coated.

JWT pressure plate.

outlaw thermo block spacers

OBX under drive pulleys.

brand new IACV via keo

funk freash oil pan via keo

head bolts via......oh you know.
OEM 10:1 pistons, cometic .030 head gasket, ACL bearings all around, 2000 altinator, OEM piston rings. dingle ball honed block hot tanked and paint black, resurfaced head and block , polished crank.

more pictures to come.

rob will without a doubt be faster than i will...........however i plan on haveing the engine bay i have dreams about when finished.

dingle ball hone sounds kind of funny. .
doing anything to the head? What cams will you be running?

nothing fancy to start with. i will get BC3's or JWT 4's in the future.


if i cant find a complete/cheap head i will run stock cams because ill need to align hone it. if i can find a very cheap head and complete ill be getting cams.

Looks good man, I might come up Sunday to check it out in person.

werd ill be there.




hey guys question. is there a reason to get a new timing chain/kit? my chain looks to be good, all the guides look good, and i already have a new style tensioner on my current engine.....ill just swap it over. chains dont stretch right?

hmm, you forgot some pics of some parts







guess what camera I used!?!?!

....your my big asian teddy bear

I'd recommend a chain at the least. That way you have the peace of mind knowing that the chain is fresh and unstretched. The tensioner is easy enough to replace if it makes noise, the chain is a big PITA.

good call. ill pick one up. i already have a new tensioner.

looks like a good build!
