With my luck I give up on the built motor and start selling my parts off.
Then....
Things fall into place today and it looks like with some help from a local shop things are going to fall in place for at least a built Short block. Trading my 03 Long block from Oil pan to Cam covers for a built SB stock heads oil pan to cam cover using my rods, pistons and arp bolts and me machining the block
So I guess I can let the cat out of the bag. I am the one that bought JJs L&M Diamonds and we are going to use Manley rods. Cobra oil pump going 20 over with a polish cranks and new bearings all ARP bolts and studs.
This takes care of the weak links.
Stock 4 thread heads but it is what it is. I sold my stage 2 cams last week since I had given up on the motor. The whole reason I took my silver truck apart was in case we were going to need that long block which is way to much anyway even with a MP on top.
At least we wont send a rod out the side on TV if they take us.
I will post some pics and get some details when everything is a go and let ya know more about the guys that are helping make this happen
I have a few hours tonight and then off the a bachelor party then wedding on Monday drive 12 hours Tuesday and have the motor on a stand Tuesday night so here we go again.
