The rest is just basic rebuild items:
Piston rings, bearings, clutch, pressure plate, basic machine work- cleaning
case, three angle racing valve job.
I spent a LOT of time on cleaning all the sealing surfaces, match porting the
intake, exhaust and oil pump (Along with blue printing it).
K&N airfilter
Super Turbo Muffler with a monza single tip.
SA Five speed .457 gearbox with HD four spider German diff.
Soon the ECU chip enhancement to add another 10% to 20% additional power.
Just to name a few items.
I do plan to do a dyno test but wanted the engine perfect before I do. I have been tinkering with many different settings to obtain the best power. Now that I have found the best settings, will have the dyno test done before and after the chip upgrade.
