Just looking to see what everyone has planned as projects for the summer. I know some are getting out of school soon, and will have plenty of time, and more work hours to purchase parts for their beloved projects, and others just always have free time, but not the facility ( no garage) to house their projects, and now that the weather is getting better, it's time to weild the ratchets and wrencheson their cars. So what's everyone doing?
Me, I just ordered my ARP head studs, clevite bearings for the mains/rods, and also ARP rod bolts. I had the crank inspected, and passed with flying colors, so I'm ready to proceed with the build. I'm just about ready to order my pistons, and also take a stop at 12secondV6's house to pick up some goodies that I'm excited to get. I hate havign to back up my estimated time, but **** happens. I originally shot for late May/Early June, but the motor is still bare, and nothings at my house to get put on, so I now changed my time to mid July/Early August.
My biggest decision is weither or not to go with L32 powered metal rods, or stick with my L36 rods. The L32's are stronger, and stiffer, but the price is about $320, and wasent originally included in my planned budget, so I'm up in the air about them. Other then that, this V6 should boogy, and hopefully can become respected in this community of V8 guys........or maybe im just asking too much there
Right now my block got punched .030 over, deck was milled .005., and degreased, and the mains were measured because of the use of the ARP studs. Later on I will add some pics and keep you guys up to date on my progress.
