Ok well heres the start of my rebuild no pics I forgot to take some before the parts went to the machine shop. But so far blocks going 30 over heads being completely rebuilt, for internals going with stock rods with arp bolts and either weisco or je forged pistons. Pretty much just going with a stock setup rebuild for the simple fact it's crazy reliable and I would like to keep it that way until I get another dd. I may do a p&p head but not sure have to see how $ I'm in for already

Do'hhhh

Update: JE 30 piston set ordered bottom end should be done in the next couple weeks,

going with stock turbo rods with arp bolts, will be good for atleast 350whp which is way more than the truck will have as long as I'm dd'ing it so all good there not sure on what bearing I'm going with yet still have some time

have a lead on two different heads hope atleast one of them tests out good with no cracks so I can get it rebuilt and have the new motor in within a month I hope

I've been waiting for this...hurry up damn it! And P&P it yourself, just takes a few hours with a dremel, practice on your junk shit. You'd be in it maybe 80 bucks then
