nice thread. Keep us posted, gonna do any upgrades?

Hi yeah not much info on rebuilds for these engines. theres not much I can improve on bottom end wise there pretty strong as is. But will be running chrome moly rings and ACL bearings. But if I was going force induction maybe some new pistons to lower the compression.

you do the work yourself? otherwise id assume this kind of rebuild would be rather pricey. Almost new engine pricey?

 

[sus steven]

Yes doing it myself and it has cost me about $2100 so far but that about everything that's even with a full timing chain kit. These engine's have hardly any gaskets just o rings and ultra grey pretty cost affective.

Please keep us posted!! Great looking block

pretty good prices considering timing chain is included in the price, as the other fellas said, keep us posted. I find this stuff very handy and quite interesting. also what about cams? is there much in the way for improvement for these to go? or just not worth the money? Good stuff mate.

cams would be a good upgrade while your there and pulled apart.. $500 per cam if not more.. then there is the tuning

1100-1500 for cams through mace engineering
