Thanks. No I had those done local a couple years ago when I put the M90 kit on.

How much do they charge for short block installs? Build looks good man. Hopefully I won't add my name to this list (M90 failure) down the road.

Thanks. It's not too bad. Really all depends on what you want. They can do a quote over the phone or email for your particular needs.

Thank you. Were expecting low 500's. Sometime in 2014 I'm going to sell the M90 and either go KB 2.8L Mammoth or a Roush TVS 2.3L. Brenspeed is getting 660 RWHP with this engine and the 2.3L TVS. I think thats on 13 psi but don't take that for fact. That power range is my ultimate goal to satisfy me. I just see too many problems on the forums with dependability when people push 15 psi + on these engines. However I'm sure there are plenty that have good luck with 15+ psi so I wouldn't mind getting feedback from them. Would help me decided whether to go Roush or KB.

Looking good !

Thank you.

Ha ha. I'm used to eating in the cafeteria here at the hospital for lunch. Believe it or not they have great food. The cashiers are gonna wonder where I went lol.

Oh trust me, I've got a whole fleet of Chevy C4500 Duramax ambulances to take care of. Government Motors. So yes...I'm very busy LOL!

Are you an EMT or vehicle maintanence for the hospital? Just curious, since I don't see too many other vehicle enthusiasts in the medical field.

I've been the Ambulance Fleet Manager here since 1991. I have a tech degree from Nashville Auto Diesel. Got my EMT license in 2000 but never did anything with it. Just doesn't pay enough. In 1991 I started out with five units in the fleet. Today it's more than tripled. I've got twelve 2007-2009 C4500 Duramaxs and two E350 Powerstrokes + six staff vehicles to take care of just by myself. I do it all. Parts, general maintenance, logistics, run fleet reports, enter work orders in the system etc. I farm out the bigger jobs because I stay so busy with just myself on the little things. EVERYBODY always needs something it seems. Since our trucks idle so much we go through several stopped up EGR valves and coolers, always have AC issues, power steering hydroboost units are POS on these damn C4500's and leak like a mother. Allison trannys though seem to be bulletproof so far on these C4500s which is the most reliable thing on these units. My days vary. Some busy as hell, others like today pretty mellow. I really could use an extra tech but with healthcare cuts they don't want to hire another FTE so I just keep farming stuff out and they don't bat an eye. So naturally after a long day at work turning wrenches the last thing I wanna do when I get home is build an engine. I enjoy smaller projects that I can do at my leisure though like my M90 kit. If I did this engine myself I'd pull too much time away from family and myself. Plus it's such a big expense I wanted Brent handling it from beginning to end without me in the middle should there be an issue.

If I lived near you I'd work for you on my furlough days!

 

[Timmbo]

ITS ALIVE!

It's alive with 30 miles on the motor already. Damn these guys are good! More break in miles next week then it will hit the dyno the week of June 17th. I'm stoked!
