Talked with Will today.....and he spend more of my money lol. 30 over pistons, coated, lifters, and lower gasket set. Reusing rockers due to back order. I cleaned mine up and they operate properly. No sticking or broken parts. Hope to have the motor done in a week or two. Then I will have to find time to pick it up and get it back in. Shooting for first start up around mid December. Damn work always getting in the way lol

Hahaha are you sure about that Mr.Knox? All I have to do is call my future ex wife and she tells me when I should make the call.

Thoughts on a waste gate kit?

Although a waste gate isn't not mandatory for stock fuel. I'd still think about putting one on.
Less back pressure seems to make things live longer.

Cknox121 · Oct 20, 2014

I can't remember, I may have already asked this... Anyways... That was my point a few posts back. Why can we run stock springs and push rods with a waste gate? If the bp is less? Not like all of use are pushing the limits for highest rev

The back pressure should be lower or 'safe' and the valves shouldn't float.

Looking back wish I would have tried it. Especially since this isn't a high hp build.

Still waiting on a motor. Hopefully not to much longer!

I believe I have everything ready to go so I don't have to wait on parts to arrive. Just have to pick up all the fluids.

What's the capacity on the trans? Should I fill up the converter with a quart or 2 before I install it?
