Has anybody ever rigged up permanent lighting that would illuminate the engine.bay? Im thinking leds that would shine up top, towards the sides, and underneath on a switch. Maybe.some more to illuminate the accessory belt drive for inspection? Waddya think? Im tired of holding a friggin flashlight with my teeth. LOL

That's actually a pretty cool idea. LED's are low power options that would make sense.

To put them in a position to be effective and not.melt would be the tough part.

My thoughts exactly. Placing them to show leaks and NOT blind the observer is another consideration.

TyCorr · Apr 8, 2013

Yea, blinding wouldnt help. It may turn out to.be an ill-conceived idea. Wouldnt be my first.

Ty where do you live at? I've driven by Hmax so many times and am planning on some of my parts coming from them. Rods for sure!

Yes!! They were explaining how they tested them and revised them. I was under the impression their rods, hardware, and pistons were about 5 grand to build a motor. When I yanked my motor last fall I priced out a hypermax built motor using their parts and it was gonna be over 9 grand for a box of parts and Id have to have a block to stuff this crap in.

They build great parts but Im thinking Im gonna be a 500hp kinda guy

Nor to derail but Im getting close:

I'll pull the receipts that I have from my built motor (that I wish I had time to install :doh

It has h-max rods, pistons, and a few other things. I know it was stupid expensive but damn I didn't think it was 9K. I bought a truck that had this motor in it and then pulled the motor. Otherwise I would probably still have sticker shock and the numbers burned into my head.

Your motor looks awesome BTW. If you still need a set of matte black plenums check out NLTD. Its sound like they will be exactly like what you are looking for and are a upgrade from oem.

I may have missed it somewhere, but did you go with a cam?

TyCorr · Apr 12, 2013

No cam. I literally degreased this after pulling it again and made a pile of "reuse" and "junk" parts. Iremoved my oilpan and the cylinders looked so good that I went "hell, im not messing with this". Which begs the question "why did I remove this?" It was bleeding oil. I assumed it.was the.hpop and went with the srp1.1. The oilpan was rusting out and after removal it was definitel.responsible for one.set of drips. As was every other gasket. My truck ran fine but the oil leaks were godawful!

I was going to try to make some power with this,lol, but now its just gonna get the standard upgrades and some smallish hybrids with 200% nozzles. Be the truck I keep at the house.

9k dollar quote from Hmax included them fire ringing the.cylinder head and machining the heads for their own high rev kit. When you go that far, why have just any machine shop do it? It wasnt much for them to.do.the machine.work.
