LOL i had to! You guys are the ballers built block and stuff , I can't afford that that's why i am stuck with my stock Ge block.

I wouldnt worry about Billet main unless you are gonna try to make 900whp on day. And not all the machine shop can do it right so you wanna be careful on who does your machine work .

What Kelford are you getting 274/280? I love the 280 on the 62-67mm turbo with E85 the tq power band and the tq curve is just crazy! You will love them .

Hit me up when you free!

I can't afford it all at once that's why its taking so long. I just want to build it once and build to my satisfaction. I know 2js can take a pounding naturally so with upgraded goodies it should take a pounding and abuse a little longer .

The billet mains were a thought. Expensive for the mains then align honing them properly so it was something I was considering.

As far as the cams go I'm jumping back and forth between the "C" and "D" cams. My plan is a 66mm-72mm max. More than likely a 66 so that will help me decide which cam will suit me better.

I had to be that guy .

Thanks. I'm hoping to add a lot more once this project is finished. I feel the collection is incomplete. I have dyno pulls and some street pulls but none at the track or a cool burnout video. With this car hopefully I can do all 4.

Haha. I most definitely missed out on a season of driving for sure. And yes I did break the golden rule lol. And now I'm paying for it. But in the end it will be something I will be happy with. The biggest thing is that it will be the way i want it. No mystery miles just a fresh clean slate.

Thanks man. I'm glad its keeping you motivated. I've been finding myself in the builds section a lot more lately trying to keep my motivation going as well.
