    I take it your timeline didn't match up with rebuilding the other ones? Will be nice to see a 1:1 comparison like this.

    Same turbos. I made a special request to Matt and he made it happen. They were EXPENSIVE but, I have been wanting to go this route for a while.

    I believe the others would have made 700 on the dyno as these surely will but, they just never got a second chance.

    More goodies.

    New crankshaft as the old one isn't as straight as it used to be.



    New OE flywheel as per Ray's recommendation.



    Main studs to hold the bottom from falling out.



    More powa capabilty in the form of new bumpsticks from Crower. The mild 264's.



    New oil cooler as I feel it is a must after a catastrophie like I had a few months ago.

    didn't notice you were running stock cams before. this one should make 700 easily and probably be easier on the motor.

    I have new turbo oil feeds and returns and the engine rebuild kit is here along with new OE headbolts. There are a bunch of other goodies coming but these are the items I have so far.

    The new crankshaft will have a new home to go in as I believe I scored the last virgin 6G72 bare block in existance via the fantastic service from Mike over at Cherry Hill. The old block hasn't been condemned yet but, once my finances get a little better I will ship it off to Ray for checking/line boring or final condemnation. There were issues I saw that weren't to my liking and after many conversations with Ray, this is my best option.

    Everything is on hold right now because the rods are not currently available. I'll update more when I have more to tell.

    Damn I don't think I knew about the engine letting loose. Look forward to watching this thread.
