I like it!!!!

but don't forget, hp tuners, afpr, injectors, walboro pump, etc

also better add at least 1 - 2 grand on top of what you think just to cover the little stuff you might overlook and that adds up fast....

you gonna do the ls lifter mod too?

[lvemy3100]

based on your list the only thing I will say is have someone who knows their ish measure for your custom length pushrods once you have your motor together... me and a customer of mine had to find this out the hard way even though we got the cam, pushrods and heads from the same place.

Like i said, this is a rough.. but yeah, this is over a year or two period, nothing rushed

thanks for the input.. much appreciated ;-D

oh, lol, GT30R i want to use, but i'm not sure yet... that a fricken huge turbo, i don't feel like needing a 200 Wet to just get it to spool....

Lesson learned on the pushrod lengths. No excuse, i should have erred on the short side rather than assume the lifters would work with the extra pre load like other's have been able to do. One thing is certain, I learn from my mistakes and I don't pretend to be a machine. To err is human.

Matt, if you have any complaints with how things were handled, please let me know.

Nope, no complaints. I'm very satisfied with how you took care of me.
Who knows - maybe the deck height on my block is wonky?

It's been a learning experience for me.......even though you plan things out as best as you can, there are always little things that sneak up.....it was just one of those things that I didn't expect.

I don't have any ill will towards you or anyone else regarding my project. Just gotta take it all in stride.

:Steps off soapbox:

i wish i could get a loan for 10K.....
