Really starting this to get some last pieces of advice before I send everything off to machining at the end of the month. I've done reaseach and read a lot but can't beat the experience here. So here is it.
Bought this Mega cab in the later part of last winter. Short story, it's been a mess. I'm embarrassed to say I trusted people too much and got bit. Was sold to me as a "long rod 6.4" but some electrical issues, that made me think I lost a cylinder, led me to tear the thing apart. Glad I did because I found it to be a decked block, standard length rod version of their 6.4. Along with some other corners cut. I know some would say I could have just ran it but I didn't feel comfortable with a 1300hp goal daily driver and probably higher here and there. So I got another block off Mark and the correct rods from Wagler. Ready to start over.
Here is my list so far. Tired to remember everything but my have missed some small things. I have everything except for the few last big items noted that I'm still waiting on to make a final decision. My mind set is, do everything to the block now so I don't have to open it up later to say, fly cut the pistons because I want to swap cams. Or because my goal changes and gets higher. If my budget runs high on the block work. I'm gonna start cutting things I wanted to do to the head down. Trying to stay below 7k for machine work and assembly.
Machine work and assembly is going to be down by Millers up in PA and I will be having the Transmission checked out and refreshed by Muldoons Diesel Performance because I don't trust what's suppose to in it.
Direction and advice are greatly appreciated.
