So I'm still in the process of having my cobra motor rebuilt with forged internals and I'm trying figure out which bearing I need. The block is being bored 20 over and the crank bored 10 over. Also I plan on going supercharged within the next year or two. So which rod/main bearings will need...

Tbh with Im going with the MMR connecting rods and diamond pistons. I'm going with MMR because I seen someone's Instagram of them running the MMR connecting rods with twin turbos pushing over 1000hp. They had they're whole build documented so I feel I can trust those rods to handle the 500 hp...

What do you guys think about running some used Manley connecting rods? I'm looking at these off eBay... https://www.ebay.com/itm/266104482810?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=M01KR5ZgR8C&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=Urf-Y424T9i&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

I have to look more into Molnar. I'm also looking at mahle. All 3 basically same price

Thanks guys definitely not going with MMR. Would have been nice to save that money though lol probably going to go with Manley and ARP 2000 bolts

I am currently in the process of rebuilding my motor and I'm trying to make a decision on which connecting rods to use. I came across these MMR rods that are $100 cheaper then modmax and $200 cheaper then Manley. So I guess I'm just trying to get information from anyone who's actually running...

Yeah I think that's a little too much for just the short block. A long block I'd definitely consider it.

Yeah I'm pulling motor now. I have a shop that will do the bottoms end and cylinder heads for 4k. So roughly around 6500 with parts depending on how my heads look. Looks like Ill need a new crank possibly because after the motor runs for a few minutes I'll lose all oil pressure and the motor...

ok guys i will look into both. im trying to keep this build around $6500

was looking at speed auto machine in rancho cordova. wanted to go with manley everything and yeah after calling around most shops stating 10k for forged rebuild. i spoke with speed auto machine today. i can get price down to 7k if pull motor myself. im working with them now to see what else i...

yeah that would be dropping off and picking up running for $9000. also i know our cranks are forged but dude tried to tell me mine is broken without even looking at or hearing it run?.. Whats the chances of having my crank go bad? yeah im looking at modmax right now. seems those are the only...

long story short.. a few doughnuts = bottem end work. i am looking to get forged internals because i want to go supercharged in the next 2-3 years. so i have a few questions for you guys on here who have gone through having one of these motor rebuilt with forged internals. 1. does $9000 for...

I think you are right. I think the issue was timing related. I had been running the 91 octane race tune on the car for about a month with WOT advanced 4 degrees. I switched the tune back to performance and reduced timing back to zero and I haven't had any issues. Car has a slight sputter/...

Noise is coming from the engine. Haven't been able to really locate it. Could possibly be an injector but wouldnt that be a constant tapping noise that got faster with rpms?

So Ive noticed this pretty loud ticking / knocking noise that occurs while driving. It's a pretty steady sound that doesn't get loud or faster with rpms. It also seems to go away if let idle for a few minutes. Car is throwing code system lean bank 2 and a pretty strong fuel smell.. any ideas...
