What the fuck do you expect? As was mentioned by someone else, you received plenty of solid advice the first time you asked for it and you ignored what everyone said and fucked yourself over, then you pissed off all the local shops with your impatience and slander. Now you say you have all the time in the world and are going to build it yourself? Go buy a complete running car and enjoy. What you were wanting to build was nothing crazy or unusual and you could probably buy a whole car for a little more than your motor, blower setup and shop labor was going to cost you.Originally posted by MR EDD View PostI can see i am not gonna get any postive feed back here.thanks 4 all that have put in postive input.

You have already made a critical mistake and don't even have the pistons. Actually, THAT is the mistake.Originally posted by MR EDD View Postthank you.i am gonna try to assemble myself. I had bLock machined and crank ready i just need to locate pistons.my buddy and most other people have told me to do it myself.but due to lack of experince and tools i have been afraid to attemp this.this time i have chose to try to assemble myself.it may take a while but i have all the time in the world.
Thx.
You can not CORRECTLY machine a block without the pistons in hand. Especially considering you don't know what pistons to get, what material they are, or what they're going to be used for.

Just tell him to got buy a short block already built. Contact MMR and buy one of their build shortblocks and be done with it.Originally posted by turbostang View PostYou have already made a critical mistake and don't even have the pistons. Actually, THAT is the mistake.

He already bought one from Granatelli and fucked it up so I don't think that will help him either.Originally posted by Dan03mach View PostJust tell him to got buy a short block already built.

It doesn't matter what pistons you want. What matters is the size of the pistons you end up with - you can't hone a block properly without the EXACT piston you are using.
You can get a batch of 100 pistons and very few of them will match each other. Not to mention, you have no idea what the size of the skirt is in the first place.
You have a crank ground .100" ????

On a modular crank no less. His next thread will be asking how to weld aluminum, no doubt.Originally posted by turbostang View PostDude.
