Get rid of the 4L60e. That amount of power in a 4wd truck, it'll never last, even after dumping tons of money into it.

Stock valves and rocker arms have been 7s in the quarter mile.

Talk to Martin or little John for the cam and springs. They give alot of help here, and are always willing to help.
Stock valve
Stock rockers with troions upgrade
That's a good oil pump, stock replacement one will work
Comp star rods. Many make that power on stock rods
Good choice for pistons.
Lifters. Those or a stock clean stock set
Stock crank
Use the eBay head studs $70
Turbo can't go wrong with Huron speed
Jakes 4L80E

Put a locker in the rear end. gear for tire size
Ebay intercooler 31x12x4
can use stock radiator right?
Twin in tank walbro 255's
80lbs injectors
Factory computer let liddo @ alternative performance I think it's called tune it.
I'm doing a 75 k10 so I've been digging all this **** up. Lol

thanks for the input. as far as radiatior, it depends on the shape of the one in the truck that the motor is going into. the only reason i say rockers and all that is because i plan on going with a cam with aroun .600 lift and there are few single spring set ups that support that much lift so i figured a dual spring kit would suit better. but what do you think about the eagle 4340 forged h-beam rods?

the truck when i first got it



pulling the motor


motor and trans pulled


on the stand/partially taken apart


random pics to show how dirty it was







off to the scrap yard


completely torn down


thats all i have for now. i wont have anything back for a week or two but i will have parts coming in the mail so there will be updates!

okay heres a little update. i got the motor back from the machine shop earlier today and i ordered gauges for the truck cause i got a killer deal on them for cyber monday a few weeks back. the build is going to be on a slight hold because the turbo on my current truck (cummins) literally imploded and trashed the housing as well as the intercooler and i may even have to pull the head off. but the plan for now is to finish cleaning the motor and the prepping for paint. i have yet to decide on a color so any suggestions would be real appreciated. i do have a couple of questions on a custom grind cam so if anyone that sees this can help me out on what i should go with please do. ive read and read other threads but i cant wrap my head completely around it enough to order my own custom grind. i will also have a somewhat finalized build list here in a couple of weeks for everyone to pick apart. but thats enough talking for now. time for pics
