Wtf.

 

Hey guys need some advice. I decided to go with a build and use the block and head. I found another head for 260 shipped off of a 07 with 26k on it. It's just missing cams.

I am going to have the shop do a build in house since its there and the owner is working on getting me a quote for how much it will come out to.

This is the list it parts I'm planning to go with. Mostly sticking to a lower budget build and nothing crazy since I know what the turbo kit is capable of and already maxed it out.

Wiseco pistons stock compression
Brian Crower h beam rods
Acl bearings
Supertech dual valve springs/retainers
Oem head gasket
Arp head studs
Supertech valve seals


Now it i get my head rebuild I will add supertech bronze valve guides and super tech nitrate coated valves.

What do you all think? Plan is to have it tuned on flex fuel at 10psi and drive it. Maybe boost more in future but for now I want to drive it. I don't need beefier parts since the turbo is only good for 657 which we maxed out on E85. I don't plan on upgrading the turbo or anything else.

 

Also if you guys know of anywhere to get the best prices on these parts let me know.

 

Looks like a solid parts list Nesar. What is the ET to completion? Also, I finished installing the 8.8 (not to thread jack) if you'd like to swing by/check it out sometime.

 

I'm not sure yet. Carlos is getting me a quote on price. I will ask him about ETA.

 

Yeah I'd would like to check it out. Maybe this weekend.

 

oem valve seals will work just fine.

 

i can sell u a ap1 exhaust cam and a ap2 intake cam if u like

 

maybe think about going with ferrea parts???

 

I have the Cams off my other head, just going to swap them over if I end up using that head.


I was looking at ferrea parts and I don't think I need them. They are more expensive and may hold more power, but I am not going to push to make that much power. I am trying to keep the build cost as low as possible.
