sold the procharger, going twins!

Life gets busy sometimes!!! its all good,

thanks for the reply.


Stay motivated

the last dsm I engine I bought had incorrect bearing sizing and galled the crank and mains, the company is no longer in business but I did a tear down after only 8 thousand miles So it can be frustrating but I always know how much better it will be the next time I work on something.


I ended up getting 99 cobra cams, i bought 4.10's and plan on going with a tremec 6 speed XL with the gears- 2.97 2.10 1.46 1.00 .80 .63

and twin 62mm turbos with the nice bearings. 18-21 lbs boost on pump is the aim.

Not like you didn't throw good parts in her from the start. You get any answers from Manley as to why the billet rod failed?

I will eventually have to move to a 6R80 myself in the future. When you get done that's gonna be a potent combination.

Unfortunately I purchased the rods used, one time only mistake on my part, I can only imagine when they've been thru, they probably sold then for a reason.
Thanks sir, I'm hoping all this aggravation is worth it in the end

Sounds like u have a plan, manual will be fun, be sure you size your turbos well, I dont think my car would be much fun with a manual with its current setup, I'm running a 3800 stall and it needs it

The reason I went with a new shortblock from MMR. It came with a warranty and is built to handle 950 to the wheels....

Same here, I think. Although Seneca has far too many quality hours into making it to quit due to mechanical failure. I can understand going either way
Good luck with the upgraded build!
 
I recently met a prospective Client. They had fallen on some "bad luck".

He went on and on about the system and how no matter what he was being victimized. How he just wanted to give up.

When he finished. I stood up and said I want to shake your hand while I tell you this. I shook his hand, looked him in the eye and told him;
"Everything you said is true, never give up for it has a 100% failure rate.".

He replied - "I am not going to give up!".
