Looking good, Don. I’ve got basically the same engine in my 04 Express 2500. Makes me feel like I should just follow your blueprints and do a build on it. Or if you get bored when you’re done with yours, I’ll let you take mine apart and play with it. :)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Dave, this isn't playing. Its some real work.I think the payoff with these motors is huge and am hopeful for a good result
Not a bad price for a torque converter I don’t think. Those heads sure look nice on that pretty kabota motor Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Looking good Don. Nice progress.Not sure I would have put the coils on before the install due to my luck with damaging stuff during lifting. Be careful.

I know there is a ton of potential in these engines, I just wouldn’t even really know where to start except for what I’m reading in this thread. I think if I did anything, I might start with a donor engine, mine is at about 485k right now. Leaks some and burns some oil but still pulls strong and I’m getting about 13-14 mpg most of the time.

Don,That is looking outstanding!! I may have to go look for something to project
Great work so far, might be your fastest oil change yet!That pan doesn't hang down to much, right.
How’s the missus? Motor going back in this weekend?Not sure if you’ve seen this Don, but thought you (and the others here) might like this. https://www.automedals.comSent from my iPad using Tapatalk
I doubt that you would ever use all the power that it's going to make in it's current form. You going to pass someone at 6000 revvums? Probably not. If you're power range is 2-4k then you're just pissing away money.I'd tune it the way it is, upgrade as you see the need. Injectors are easy to swap.
