My build process starts tonight.

[PNR Welding]

I recently got the short block from JDM along with 2 break in tunes on Monday and everything else today. Both JDM and Livernois were awesome to deal with. They answered all my questions and helped me through this. A++++ to them.

My build consists of,
JDM 298 stroker
Livernois Stage 3 heads
Compcams 127350
8 bolt flex plate
Brand new oil pump
Brand new oil pan with pickup
New Cam phasers
Livernois Cam phaser limiters
94mm Cometic head gaskets
ARP head studs
Saleen supercharger
2.75 upper pulley from Techco
10% lower pulley
60 psi injectors
SCT BA 2400 MAF
Lentech 4R70W trans with transbrake

Will have pics of the old motor and the progress tonight. We ripped it out a few weeks ago and the new one will get put together tonight and probably go in tomorrow night. Hopefully to have it running by the weekend.

Break in tune should be around 580whp. Then when we turn it up should go to about 650whp. Thats what I was told. Ill have dyno numbers up soon, hopefully Monday.

Nice build you got going on. Can't wait to see how it does at the track and on the dyno

 

[US-1]

You done yet?

 

[PNR Welding]

You done yet?

Yea I just have a very little left to do. A couple of odds and ends.
Like put the heads on, install the cams, do the whole timing components install the motor. Fix the seats so they fit with the cage. We pulled the covers off the seats last night to modify the seats so they will fit due to the roll bar.

Yea it was the stock motor. It took 30k of abuse and did me well. The connecting rod just couldn't handle it anymore.

Do you plan on getting the shaker addon? Or maybe a port job from techo?
