I know lol, I bookmarked the for sale thread. Bank's kinda hurting right now though, just bought the Fikses, and am about to order cam and morel lifters to finish the longblock. If in a few weeks you still have them, I can meet you half way and pick them up from you.

haha...Yea no problem if they are still around. Your build is going to be out of control man. I am going turbo also, that is why the shocks are for sale. Hopefully when we can get a couple of these San Antonio cars done, we can plan a trip up your way!

Best shield all that piping/turbo's/plug wires under that hood as it can get really hot.
Changing the plugs would be tough unless your under the car.
Nice build and parts!!!!

Ah, the name calling has reversed... But I guess it's ok if you do it, huh? And every part has a limit... but I don't know in what world the oiling system or tune causes rods to stretch, soooo yeah, brilliant argument.
And I too applogize west, I'm not hating... I think its going to be a nice build and I love the car. I'd just hate to see it fail over something that could be easily avoided.
LME just did the machine work and shortblock assembly/cam degree. Parts were provided by me, all brand new, and I put together the rest of the motor and installed myself.
I didn't talk to Eagle, because there was no point honestly. All they would say is the motor was over-reved or something along those lines and I can't prove otherwise. I know it wasn't and leason learned, is all there is to it.
And unless you have L19s, you're over the rated power of an Eagle rod anyway... L19s?

And not trying to stir anything up, but just kinda curious.. Plus, i know it sucks for Buff when he is excited about his build and worries start getting thrown into the picture.. Like i said as well, I know u have Knowledge and arent like most people on the forum's..
