mustanghobby, do you think this kit is
the one for our engines and for our goals


phatphil, i'll definately do a write up after
the fact, maybe periodic updates as well

RE: Forged Rotating Kit - DIY?
 

yes, but i'm drawing the line after
the rotating assembly, tensioner,
8 rib kit, and clutch kit

RE: Forged Rotating Kit - DIY?
 

:) just keep up straight to that line !

hmm..I've built several 302's in the past but I'm weary of the ohc in these cars. You do raise questions though. Is there a handbook out there with the 3v breakdown in it?

RE: Forged Rotating Kit - DIY?
 

blue, i really just want to install the
rotating assy, then bolt my heads
back on, no fuss no muss....

does anyone see a reason that this
plan won't work

RE: Forged Rotating Kit - DIY?
 

I would not just throw that assemblyin there. You should have the block hot-tanked, freez plugs replaced, check the deck for trueness, balance rotating assembly and more. What about new head gaskets and ARP studs for the heads? Can you mic out the crank and main bearings/rod bearings to ensure proper clearance? If you know how to blueprint an engine then you should be okay.

I'm all for doing things myself, as you're aware, but even I would feel more comfortable installing a allready assembled short block, than to pull the guts out of my stock block and install new guts.;)

maybe i am biting off more
than i can chew....


but can't a guy try to save some moolah
and learn something in the process....
