yeah I prolly should get the dowel pin kit for the crank. ARP crank bolt? what do you mean?
Bottom end is staying the same. No need to change that out. JE 8.5’s, IE 144’s and stock crank. they sould hold just fine for the power levels we are lookin for.
I picked up that solid lifter AEB too. should be here next week. stoked on that. AEB intake and RMR parts are coming too so I can weld up a manifold. also got a 75MM throttle body off a 3.6L passat for $50.
