Ah yes bearings are ACL and stock seal unless there is reason not to?

Yea OEM is the only one you can should use.

I also decided to go with an a2 oil pump modified for extra revs if in the future I build the head.


So the final build will be:
JE 10:1 pistons
Manley Turbo Tuff rods
a2 oil pump
ARP head studs
stock head

Pretty simple...

I opened up my trans and I will definitely be needing all new bearings. They have to be filled with metal shavings from the looks of the oil I pulled.

And yes that makes for a simple but effective build. Can't wait to see it all together

If you haven't purchased your pistons and rods yet, I may be able to hook you up. PM me, let me know.

Sorry just now seeing this, but I had already ordered them through a local shop, they gave me the best prices of anything I could find online.

In other news, the trans is all but finished, just need 2 new dowel pins for the shift selector.

Still waiting on pistons...

Second post updated with build details

I like your progress and the new updates! Car has come a long way!!

Any recent updates?

Sure... The two dowel pins I needed for the shift selector arrived, and I installed that :giggle: not much but that's it. I'm still waiting I've been trying to get in contact with my shop the past 2 days but it's been difficult to get him on the phone, I think he's just really busy right now and he's just a one man show. He probably doesn't have any more information than me though :shrug: kind of at JE's mercy.
