I haven't had time to even pull the motor yet. Been trying to just keep up with our customer's needs while we look for a new shop and deal with the banks about it.

I did get a good deal on a bunch of things already to get it back up and running though.
So far I have:
Block with all machine work done - honed, line bored, deck milled, ect
Main studs
Head studs
Brand new keyed crank
keyed cam
billet rods
Dual CP3 kit
Stage 2 heads - bigger valves, full port and polish, valve springs
Brand new Mahle pistons that I just need to send out to get cut and coated.

Stuff I aready had that will be going back on:
68mm modified stock turbo
Custom headers and up-pipes
90hp injectors

So all I have left is getting the pistons cut and coated then I can start assembling the engine.

While I'm doing it I will probably send my injectors out to be taken to 60% over stock. I may also send the turbo in for a refresh and have it stepped up to the 71.5mm version.

I want to run an 11 the first time it's back on the track and I'm pretty sure that even on my old tuning it will do it no problem. After getting it dialed in I want to at least run with you and Winston. Having 3 11.4 second trucks around town should make for a fun summer of racing.

Thanks for the update Dustin! Sounds like you are coming along pretty good.
Did you "window" the block when the engine let go??

 

No, still starts and runs but doesn't sound pretty.

Newest update:

Got tired of waiting for a shop and not having the truck so we brought the truck out to Greenville so I can work on it from the house (I moved back in January). I sent the pistons off to SoCal Diesel be cut and coated and am also getting a cam from him. Waiting on the heads and rods to get here - then when the pistons get here the rotating assy will be getting balanced locally. After that it's time to assemble. I'm sending the headers off for some updates that the fabricator made to the design. Selling the injectors and going with 100% over stock. Putting my turbo up for sale to be a tester for a 3" variable charger. Hopefully it all comes together towards the end of the month and is up and running by sometime in April.
