Yep you need an hpx e. I will have one very soon. You can get that the intercooler and mount at the same time.

The crank, rods and pistons all came in today. The block is supposed to be shipped out tomorrow since they were backordered. New batch was scheduled to be shipping 1-15-15.





Here is a pic showing my new pistons skirt thickness vs the forged pistons that came on the used rods I got.

I was wondering how long that would take. They are Manley pistons, MMR just puts their name on everything they sell. Only company that has pistons for a 3.800 crank in stock.

[Bobby]

Lol, you guys are relentless.

I got the rods and crank(and 7 good pistons I don't need) as a package deal. Not too concerned with the h-beams.

What are the brand and type on the 7 pistons?

 

[JoshK]

Bought them from Steve Poe. I sent him an email asking what brand they are and will report back. They are a flat top. $200 Billy?

What ever you do make sure you do billet oil pump gears.

 

[JoshK]

new estimated ship date for the block is the 31st. The machine shop wait is supposed to be the long wait, not just getting the damn block!

 

[jodadejss06gt]

[JoshK]

Are you passively poking me about my ETs again Jason lol
