alright i have been on here a lot lately and received help from many of u thanks.

okay i have 80% of the things i need to rebuild my motor in my 91' gt i have already stashed away these parts
-trickflow twisted wedges
-edelbrock rpm 2 efi intake
-trickflow stage 1 cam(still undecided probably selling for an anderson cam
-crane 1.6 roller rockers and new tf pushrods,new ford lifters
-trickflow valve covers
-hv oil pump,full gasket kit,new waterpump
-30lb injectors , pro flow 75 mm maf for 30's
-arp rod bolts,intake bolts,head bolts,rocker studs
-and i know a DSS engine kit with new forged pistons(9.7 with the sock twisted wedges),wrist pins,moly rings,arp rod bolts,rod and main bearings(clevite),cam bearings,freeze plug kit

i am heavily debating in selling the block,motor kit,cam,and some other stuff and buy a shortblock already done from fordstrokers i have thought about both and doing the shortblock way it is only about 200 more bucks

what would u do? thanks

well if your prepared to wait 6-8 weeks for ford strokers...I'm in a bind so Ican't wait that longas that's how far backed up he is...I talked toJim/Woody last week for a 1/2 hour or so but the service is personal and he's great to deal with

yea i talked to woody earlier today he is building 13 shortblocks and 4 complete engines there a little backed up

yeah the one main worry/concern i have is putting all of this together parts,machine work,tune, $4000-5000 is runnin the dss pistons.

as i have heard quite a few horror stories lately as a couple of them have been wrist pin/piston wrist pin hole problems as 1 or 2 of them i have heard on here.

u see i am a little worried puttin this much money into it and having problems off the bat

welcome to the world of performance!!!..........performance up = reliability down!!!!...... I'm trying right nowto get together a combo to reach a happy medium between the two!!!

Keep what you have, you already have it

jtmustang

i dont know what to do really as i am gettin some money soon then i could get all my machine work done 600-900 bucks worth or sell the dss kit along with my spare block and guts along with the cam and use that money along with the other money i was gonna put into it and buy an already done shortblock with all better internals than my redone block will have

i dont know what to do[&:]

jtmustang

i know that keeps going through my head but the dss pistons/wrist pins are scaring me as i will be giving this motor a 100/125 shot when all done and broke in

jtmustang

nobody else is scared for me cause i am with using the dss pistons?[]

jtmustang

nobody else has any comments?[:-]
