Fuel's Winter Project: Build It Before It Blows

[mustang1200]

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.

I ran into the exact same issue. I tried to get them from JDM, but they were out of stock as well. So my engine has MMR pistons in it.

Just did a little trading again.

My stock intake manifold with CMDPs and stock tb + $120 FOR His FRPP intake and GT500 TB

Not too bad of a trade I do believe.

 

[JeremyH]

That's a smoking good deal for you in that trade! I saw it on fb.

You suck

 

[Doug M]

Great looking parts Josh. Excited for you Brother!

 

[JoshK]

Not much for parts coming in this week. I did get my Manley piston rings and Mcleod FW. Just in case anyone is needing one, there is a seller on ebay selling NOS Mcleod 8 bolt aluminum FW for $200 shipped(same part # that jegs sells for $480) Should have just about everything needed to go to the machine shop now.

 

[Doug M]

Not much huh? Lol, I don't have any coming right now, sure wish I did though

 

[weather man]

Damn good trade on the intake! What will displacement run Josh?

 

[JoshK]

Will be a 326 with 10.5:1 compression. Still trying to decide if I should go up to a billet i-beam rod yet. This build probably won't get done this year if I keep upgrading, but I really want this to be the last engine I build

 

[one eyed willy]

Might as well go I-beam, one less thing to ever need upgrading in the future!

 

[JoshK]

Well I sold the h-beam rods so I guess that's settled now

The I beams do make sense.

 

[jodadejss06gt]

you were just saying that because Bobby said he wanted I beams

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

Josh was talking to me about I beams over H beams over a month ago, im glad he is going with the I beams.

 

[JoshK]

No, Bobby is stealing all my ideas. LOL

And don't start with me James, you drive to hard of a bargain and I have an engine to build lol

 

[JEWC_Motorsports]

Cmon baller!!!!!!!!!!!! 320 shipped.

 

[jodadejss06gt]

I'm just giving shit when I can. Get it done

 

[JoshK]

It will get done some day. I just bought a damn boat again 2 weeks ago again so.....
