Never seen that kit before, I would just get the diamond pistons which should come with total seal piston rings and some clevlite 77 bearings , L32 rods and your done , ZZP should sell everything. Since you spun a bearing I would see if they can machine your current one or just buy a new one. No need for a stroker kit. Stock cranks are fine. Especially since your running low boost.
What is necessary to forge the bottom end, I see some kits for 2k? http://www.fullthrottlespeed.com/fts...-assembly.html
what else would I need for a forged rebuild besides a kit like this and how would it hold up compared to a stock L67 block?
If it were me I'd go forged pistons and clev. 77 bearings and your cam should be good. Thats what I did in 2002 and its still going strong. L67 will work and the newer ones have L32 rods if thats how you want to go, but if your a lifer like me I'd do the forged pistons.
Hey guys, some of you may have been following my turbo build using the eBay kit. Well today we drove the car and went WOT for the first time and spun a bearing... . Absolutely devastating that the 75k short block couldn’t handle 8PSI, but not sure exactly what went wrong but here we are.
I’m looking at the best possible next steps and I could use some advice. I am looking for a cheaper solution but don’t want to build the bottom end myself as I want the car back ASAP and do not want to spend 4K on having someone machine and rebuild me a forged engine. I also don’t want to just pull one out of a junkyard and take another gamble.
I am thinking about buying an L67 short block from MABBCO In Texas as I hear they have stronger internals and have lower compression for boost. This will cost me 995$ for the L67 shortblock and 350$ to ship to my door. I think this is a better idea then rebuilding my L36 with stock internals and gapping the rings and hoping again. What do you guys think I should do? And is the L67 block a good idea to opt for right now while the engine is broke and will it work with my heads and valvetrain etc, or is there a better alternative?
Thank you in advance, Andrew
