I'm kinda Un-knowledgeable about these kinds of things.... All I can tell you is they are Trick flow.... As for the rest of the parts in the motor...... All I can tell you is, the guy at the machine shop talked with me about what I was going to do with the car, and then he talked to the guys with Summit Racing, who then put together an entire rebuild package for me. which saved me about $1000 compared to me buying. everything separately on my own.I will have a list of parts as soon as I decipher the product codes from the sales slip.All I know right now, is the block is .030 over, and decked with forged pistons and I-beam connecting rods. More info to follow later tonight. Quote Selected

Project Evolution *** Project Complete **** Wednesday July 9, 2014 Reply #2333 – June 15, 2010, 02:17:51 PM That should work. As long as the trans is ok I'd throw a Bauman shift kit in and instal a trans cooler. It should last for a few years like that;) Quote Selected
Project Evolution *** Project Complete **** Wednesday July 9, 2014 Reply #2334 – June 15, 2010, 02:40:41 PM The car already has a cooler... And I'm not sure if I'm going to put a shift kit in it. These things happen as they happen sometimes, and I wouldn't even know where to start with something like that.. You motor building guys need to move closer to me.. lol Quote Selected

Here's an idea of what it will look like. Talked with my friend about tires yesterday... Does anyone have a size suggestion for these turbines? Should I run the same size front and back? same width front and back? give me your input. Quote Selected
