Oh yes. I shall be photographer, mechanic, and the designated drinker. Most likely in the reverse order of that

 

[GWeakland620]

The reverse order should most likely make for some awesome pictures

Thanks guys. I'm pretty bummed, but as I like to say.....You gotta pay to play.

Idk if I want all that sealer running through my nice radiator, I'll just tear it down and see what's happening. If the block is intact I'll probably see about getting those aluminum heads on.


I guess now I need some good links on how to's of engine work lol.

I have arp head studs, can those be reused? Or do I need new?

sorry to hear the bad news. It can really bum you out after a lot of wernching and then something else goes wrong.

Yes you can reuse ARP head steads, although they may make it tricky to pull the head with the engine still in the truck, you'll find out soon, hopefull their is enough room in our huge engine compartments.

This is actually a brilliant idea. A complete roller cam retrofit package with almost everything you need to get the Patriot heads assembled.

I've never heard of the Lunati Bare Bones series but it sounds promising. If its anything like the Voodoo series, you'll love the throttle response and pure screaming redline ability! I've had 2 Voodoo shafts and love both of them. Definitely can't go wrong with a roller cam either

With this cam package, all you'd need is to do is have the heads milled, buy valve seals, and assemble the valves. Easy peasy, 50 more hp squeezy.




Oh wait I see why you really want this cam package

Complete Kits include Camshaft, Lifters, Timing Chain & Gears, Valve Springs, Retainers, Locks, Assembly Lube, Decals, and Instructions.
