> [@MHill](#): > > what was done to the block? just .030" over, bake and magnaflux… I decided against Oringing it because people have been making reliable power (700 rwhp!!!) on STOCK head gaskets, so with my metal one, i should be OK. I also had headwork done, the rotating assy was balanced, the crank was polished, it cam knife edged and radiused from nissan, a valve job, a new oil pump drive put on and some combustion chamber work. I don’t have a truck, so i havent been able to pick it up… and i still need to get shit painted… The official list of parts going into it is: wiseco pistons pauter rods jun oil pump jun main studs jun valve guides jun crank drive collar tomei cams (270 x 10.25 ) tomei solid lifters tomei head gasket (stock thickness) tomei adjustable cam gears (5 bolt) hks valve seals ferrea double valve springs ferrea titanium retainers ferea titanium valve seats OEM valves NIMO water pump Power enterprise F1 black metal bearings Power enterprise timing belt ARP head studs OEM tensioners also being used: exeddy triple plate clutch AEM EMS my Garrett GT3040r is blown up and STILL needs to be rebuilt… i think that is about it. all this pushing on the RB equivalent of the stock 240 tranny and differential. I need to be gentle. ---

i got told at taffy’s that you ahd now officialy decided to sell the car as is to pay off bills … good to hear your not and dont worry, im gonna wrap 200 feet of chai anround the block, the head and the cross member and weld it to anything and everything … leaving you just enough room to do plugs and oil changes … your never getting back inside that block again after your done > [@newman](#): > > i should gave gotten a GT40, but i had the 3040r sitting around collecting dust… > i might just buy a cheap ass T4 in the meantime, but then i have to make a new downpipe, modify/rebuild my manifold, etc. build a short adapter pipe to mount a t to the mani, and then cut your down pipe about 6" back and make a new piece that just slips on … thow on one of the 4" exhaust clamps that dont destroy the inner pipe, and when u get your turbo rebuilt just remove the mani adapter and neatly weld the original DP section back on ! ---

every day i have a differnet opinion on the damn car… when its done, i should lock myself in my room, because i will wind p selling it on a whim… last night, i was thinking how it would be so badass to do this swap into a classic muscle car…one in particular… that way i can piss off both the 240/nissan kids and the domestic guys… hopefully i dont decide to do that THIS winter… :roll: ---
