PR length Checker
ARP Engine bolts and head bolts
MSD 6AL/Blaster coil

Still need a 95 timing cover (anybody know where to get one? autozone/advance auto don't carry them)

Also, still need guideplates. The TFS guideplate are on backorder from summit. Can I use different ones? or does anybody know of a different place to get them.

LEt me know if I forgot anything

Oh yeah, any ideas on HP/TQ?

Thanks

If you're using 3/8" push rods (I'd assume you would), comp guideplates will work just fine.

They will work/fit the TFS heads?

And BTW: the TFS guideplates for those heads only come in 5/16

I don't know but that setup sounds sick and is very near to what I should be putting on once I settle on buying a block. Are you sticking with your original opti? Which Bauer cam are you going with? Exciting times man!!

SS MPSTR

you know, I'd defer that to TFS. I don't see why they'd make it different than other sbc head

SS MPSTR

well poop. I'd definitely call them then.

Thanks for the healp. BTW the cam is a Bauer cam of course, a little bit bigger than an LE3 cam

I remember trying out the comp guideplates with my tfs le ported heads, and i don't recall everything fitting together like it should have, definitely worked out a lot better with the tfs guide plates.

I have a very similar setup, about 3k miles on the motor but the piston rings or something didn't break in correctly so ive been shooting out blue smoke for a while now and I am about to begin the engine removal process so i can get everything fixed and done once and for all.

The car was definitely pulling very hard and is very fun to drive, don't have any hp/tq numbers though since i wanted to dyno tune and get everything done but I won't bother until the car is running 100% without any problems.

you will definitely enjoy that package, lloyd did awesome work for me.

You still in NY? or you go to Colorado yet?

Sounds almost exactly like what I'll e putting together in a few weeks. Im curious to see what yours will make for power compared to mine with different heads.

SS MPSTR

...and they only offer guideplates for 5/16" pushrods? wow.

97WS6NY

Still here until the 12th or whenever i get the engine in, whichever comes first. Thinking about have bryan do a dyno tune for me. Wanna come?

Actually I ended up picking the morels up from Thunder since I was ordering the fuel pump kit and injectors and they had em in stock. BTW, lloyd finished my heads yesterday. Nice numbers for sure. I definitely tried to not get the cheap s**t on anything on this engine. I got the best of everything I could, so I am really hoping to see some pretty good results. If bryan from PCMforless does that dyno tune for me, I will be glad to email you the graph if you are interested. Any tips about these guideplates for the TFS heads?

EDIT: I am however still looking at that converted super vic. After I get an emissions sticker on this thing, you will be recieving an EMAIL
