Hopefully. Half the stuff on the list is just replacing Maintenance parts. lol

Good luck with the build.

Thanks Matt :thumbs up

sweet man. this looks like it's gonna be expensive.

Eh. Another $200-$300 & it will be done.

what!?!?!? no pics? you know im blind!!!

Lol, i'll take pictures of everything when I get the parts. The damn camshafts are backordered. lol

Only picture I got so far is the cat-delete

Edit- I just ordered 1 timing chain guide. The place I buy from has Free Shipping on almost everything, so I can just buy 1 piece @ a time :lol:

Damn. I wish I could say that... My pistons alone are going to cost me over $300.

Yup, well If I was going to go that deep into my engine build, it would cost me probably $2-3k. Hell, just an aftermarket intake manifold is $1700, and an OBX header is like ~$600

So far this is what my engine build parts section looks like: (Central timing chain guide, CAI & intake elbow)

WEAK! Havent had any time to order new parts yet. I'm definately ordering a few major parts for the build this week though.
