[QUOTE="1997psd23, post: 1542687, member: 2383"] Hello all, I have never really posted here but I have learned a ton! Thought I would give this a shot and post the build I'm doing on my 97 7.3. I've had the truck since 2007 and slowly upgraded and modified stuff since. The way it sits it has the Irate electric fuel system, T500 hpop, intercooler from a 2000 SD, and plenty of other small stuff. About 2 years ago I did a bunch of upgrades. 250/100 from rosewood, Southbend DD clutch, Irate T4 with 366sxe, comp 910 springs, Smith bro rods, head studs, gear head tunes, Irate 3 inch plenums, and probably some other stuff I'm forgetting. To the current build. Engine had a TON of blow by and a good miss when cold. Did a compression check, lowest was 245, highest was 360, average was about 320. Pulled the motor and found all 8 pistons had some sort of cracks, a couple looked pretty burnt, and there had been valve to piston contact on about 4 cylinders. Found out yesterday the machine shop bored it to .040 over, said they had to. I dont like the idea of going that far over so found a new motor and I'm tearing it down to have it checked and bored to .030 over. Plans for the truck. Planning on keeping the 250/100's for now but going bigger later. I'm doing Brian Crower rods, a girdle, de lipped/coated with valve reliefs for the pistons, beehive valve springs, colt stage 2 billet cam, and of coarse a full rebuild kit including coated bearings. I'll try to add a couple pics and I will update as I go. [ATTACH=full]178348[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]178349[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]178350[/ATTACH] Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
