Yea, 40thou is a perfect balanced engine. Apparently measuring the bore to stroke. Yea, 80thou parts were very hard to get a hold off. I had to go to a loose ring specialist to get him to order some molys from the factory. Havnt heard back from the bloke i sold the engine to as i sold the engine fro...

Oh, i didnt use the same block again. I went and got one from a bloke local to me that had it at 60thou. Some 202 expert that races them and what not, apparently. 80thou your getting mighty close to the water/oil? It has way to big to be honest. The cause for the stock to snap was either poor mainte...

Yea it was, then i built the new one. 80thou is way over the top, but it was the next size up to do. Seems to be going alright because my mate doesnt wear marks in the carpet from the pedal like i do.

Wow how the times have changed. Iv gone way off course then my original plans. But im wiser now.

To make it short and sweet unlike the VS one, ill just give some basics. This is how i bought it. Mind you it had a stock rear bar on it.

Oh ok. I just needed some advice, as i really dont have 230 to 265 to chuck around on a MAF. As i just finished pricing up my intake, i estimate around $750 to finish it off. Only because iv got to do my lifters as well and do the custom piping work. That estimate covers: Lifters, the memcal, coolen...

Wow, you guys are really into it. Youve got me lost so far. Last time i checked the post i was asked for some numbers and such, went to upload some pictures then saw this.

I see, so its a direct tuneless fit. Where as the mace one will need to go through some tuning to get it right. If i didnt have replace my lifters at the same time i would be sweet.

So only use genuine. Found a new one for 265. So mace 85 it is

I have one more question. In regards to better flow and price. Would i be better to get a 85mm from mace for $230 or a LS2 for $125 and go through what you did? As i just priced up the rest of my intake system and shat a brick.
