I have the block back from the machine shop and am FINALLY about to build the engine for this never ending project.
My main question is do i do ARP main stud and rod bolts or go with new standard cummins bolts? whats the limitations for the stock bottom end? im thinking stock bolts will survive this on a fresh rebuild. my setup is listed below. Thoughts? advice? I was planning on the ARPs until i read about machining with them installed due them causing things to go out of round which i did not do.
The set up is a 99 f-250 2wd/reg cab/long bed with a 12valve/47re combo.
Use for the truck is a fun street truck that wont see much if any track time due to my work schedule and nearest track location. it will see some runs on the street and what not though.
Planned setup-
160 pump that im sure will be adjusted after i get everything running
5x.016s 155* spray angle
131 DVs or the ones i had cut for my old truck that were FC with a .5mm shoulder
high 20's timing
83x74 S475 with a .9 AR t4 housing
marine bowl pistons
DIY exhaust port work
blocks bored 20 over
cam might be a 178 or 188 hamilton or it might be stock until i decide where i want to go with it.
