Hey guys!
I am wondering about somethings here now that my engine is at the machine shop.
Money is tight, as when I bought this engine, I was under the impression it would be plug and play, but specs dictate that the custom pistons and rods must be fit into a new block with a new crank, along with lots of machine work on the block.
I am currently leaning the drection of conventional HGs, with ARP headstuds, and will get the head surfaced for straightness... Is it necessary to eck the block also, if using the conventional felpros?
I was trying to wait for the cometics, but I will let that wait till the next build...
I am really wanting to use the convential HGs as a safety net, so perhaps I would blow the HG instead of something in the shortblock...
At least whilst I git-R-tuned and dialed in.
So the basic question is, does the block warp enough to require decking???
I know I could ask the machine shop, but they don't have my replacement block yet...
I am just trying to get my estimates together...
Thanks
