Message: [QUOTE="02BigD, post: 406144, member: 96"] First time I've seen Troika's setup, what is the truck used for? Cool to be able to the accessories on one. Since the smart guy in this thread is only posting pictures, let's start the list of items to consider when planning one of these. Starting at the top of the motor, and working down; General Questions that start the decision tree; Desired horse power? How many RPM's do you want to run? Run factory accessories? Water pump, oem or electric? Engine oil circulation setup? Where do you want to hang the charger(s)? Remote Oil filter and cooler? Top and exterior of motor; Pump, V vs Inline Fuel hard lines Valve covers and CCV provision Custom turbo(s) mount (s) Heads; Port and polish work Machine work for injectors, roller rockers, studs, valves, fire rings Hardned valve seats Rockers Springs Push rods Larger valves Fire rings Injectors Studs Custom intake(s) and runner(s) Custom exhaust manifolds Uppipes Block; OEM or CGI Fill Pistons and machining Rods Crank Custom cam shaft Bedplate or Girdle Front cover Custom oil pan and pickup Labor items; Where to mount all the now remote items? Machining of the block Balance rotating assembly Actually putting the whole engine together Getting in a truck and everything hooked up Tuning the whole thing once it's together and running. Please add whatever I missed...sure there's a plenty. Just a thought about the pricing of one of these setups. Call Schieds or Hasley and see how much a turnkey nasty 2.6 5.9 cummins is, may be surprised by what you find out. [/QUOTE]
