nice find man. yea a forged piston/rod combo will run you between 700 and 1000 depending on the name but any name brand will hold 600+. you'll also need the rod bearings, main bearings, are you getting the main cap with it? if not you'll have to find one of those and have a maching shop line bore it for you. all in all about 1500 bucks later you'll have one sweet block!

 

don't know if it has the main cap, i'll find out tuesday. yeah i'm gonna be happy.

 

i don't know if it matters or not, but on extremepsi.com it has different types and brands of main and rod bearings, any ideas on which i should get?

 

i got clevit for my 420a back in the day which i'm told isa very reputable company. (rod and main) which will run you about 100 bucks for the both of them. while ur at it... personally i'd also get the polyurethane motor mounts if you are going all out. it's only an extra 100 bucks for all of them and they will keep ur motor very very sterdy in the bay w/o all that rocking n swaying.

 

yeah, those are pretty cheap, i will probably get those.

 

It DID run TE... It looks like the thing is rusted so much it prolly wont even turn over^^

 

lol, i'm sure it's just a single layer of rust .

 

exactly. Its impossible to not develop surface rust from oxidation

 

I have one thats been sitting around, but its kept inside the garage.. And it doesnt have any rust like that[&:]

 

that one has been in a garagethe entire time as well
