Ok, I'm getting a new 308 short block from Vanstrom Performance to replace the oil burning, low oil pressure mess that resides between the fenders right now. I have some ideas for a top end combo and will be trying to get most of the stuff used when I can, to save myself some money. I probably won't be putting the new motor in until June or July so I have some time to think about what I should get. Here's some of my ideas, feel free to chime in!
TFS TW 170s (used from corral)
Explorer intake, going to see about porting the lower some by myself, plenty of explorers in the junkyards in case I have to get another lower, lol.
Stock cam- Eventually I want to put a s/c on it, so I was thinking about waiting to get a cam until then, and get a custom one.
1.72 Roller rockers
70 mm tb & spacer
24lb injectors & 75mm Maf- Not sure what maf to get, possibly a Pro M? I want to try to run this without a tune (hence the stock cam) to try to save some money for the 3.73 gear install. It all depends on how much work we have this year.
Ditch the smog pump, put on some cheap u/d pulleys, 3g alt.
255 lph fuel pump- big enough so I won't need to change this twice.
Aluminum radiator, hi flow water pump, hb, motor mounts, etc...
And a new clutch and flywheel. Anything that can be had used and in good condition I will try to get, some stuff will obviously be new anyhow.
Suspension stuff should be done this spring.
