Need rods to compliment the 7000 RPM's you'll be spinning with that 4000 stall.

And ditch the TRW's in favor of something else that will accomodate full floating pins.

Dont know why things get built so complicated.. keep them simple.. and have the car running.. then make your mess on another motor sitting on an engine stand... while the car is running.

Been there done that..

Well really the only thing I am doing is replacing what was messed up when the motor went south.

When the headgasket went the trash got under a couple of lifters so I had to replace the cam. And my friend owed me some money so the cam didnt cost anything.

And the stall I got from a little trading and going from a 3500 stall to a 4000 doesnt seem like that much of jump. I could be wrong though.
