[QUOTE="Slammed99Vert, post: 16044413, member: 193158"] Well seeing as how sketchy this guy is being, the heads may have been way too good to be true unfortunately. The main reason I wanted to try and jump on them quick was the price was in the dirt. Hence why I was trying to dig every drop of info I could. Potentially, they may have been so cheap because they were cracked. I may never find out. Maybe a blessing in disguise? Anyway, I got some awesome news from Dave at Burbank Speed and Machine. He mic’ed my block and he said he can make everything nice and perfect only going 1 over oem bore size. My SVT/Manley rods with arp 2000s should be here soon, so it’s time to start ordering some other new toys. I’m putting together an order for arp head studs and main and side bolts so he can go ahead and start machining the block. He told me to start looking for pistons for a final bore of 3.561. I’ve been thinking of running a set of cp’s, simply because I know they come with good rings still made here in the good ole US of A. Thoughts? The 5858’s may be a good choice for this build for more than one reason. Knowing myself I am only asking for 600 rwhp but, I’m really good at always wanting more. At least with those I won’t be able to ask for more than my build can handle lol. E-85 is a possibility. That said I’ve seen some really weird stuff when it comes to guys running California corn, mainly when they pull the motor apart. I want this motor to last a really damn long time and I am unsure of what the e-85 will do to that longevity. I was thinking of possibly running 91 pump gas (I hate Ca)with a dash of the c15 that I use for my big block n/a boat to bring it up to around 93 or so for most street driving and POSSIBLY (still not sure yet) running corn for track time only. As always feel free to flame me for anything I’ve got wrong here lol. All kidding aside guys. Thanks for all your help with this build so far! Even though it really is still in its infancy. [/QUOTE]
