The Build is on..

For all the guys that know me..
I went into the Bank today and got approved for a little $3,000 personal loan, so I have some play money now. I am picking up my Engine here this weekend, looking around for a deal on the Heads, and fininding what ever else I need. I haven't even got payed yet either..

The build is officially on..

Awesome, what rotating assy you using?? I highly recommend the Mahle pistons, those are great pieces and come coated already. They are also pretty light!

I was looking at them, Mahle +12cc Reliefed Pistons, and then Scat H-beam Rods. Then the Eagle 4.000 Forged Crank. All that is going to be balanced.

Sweet, can't wait to see/hear that thing. Just take your time and do it right, it'll be a bad @ss setup. Later.

Yea, it's a 6.0l Iron Block Truck Engine, stroked up. It's actually like a Gen 3.5 if you think about it..

I just got the $3k as a buffer.. a guy I know took out $15k to build an Engine for his Civic, that's retarded.. He has it built, but not in yet. He wants to run 10's, I told him to take that money and get a real car.
