Are those Weisco pistons?? what compression did you go with.

Ehhhhhhh i was doing a budget rebuild. those are stock ranger pistons with valve reliefs. probably lost .0005 cr, stock rods. went with very minor head work...gasket match and new valves. b/s delete. hot tank block, polished crank, balanced...mild to the max just to get it going, next one on the stand will be a nice strong n/a build YEA ITS FOED RED!!!!

If you want an aluminum valve cover, instead of the plastic, I have one off the motor I just put in my ST, (I put the plastic one on my car.)

I did all the design and R&D for the k1 rods back in late 2004 there good rods at a good price

The bearing tangs are only there to position the bearing in its place when you install it thats all the tangs do , many think there there to keep the bearing from turning but they are not

That price was a quarter of the cosworth price of rods, im sure there just as good. I don't think this build would have happened otherwise.

After 2 long months of parts delays and other obstructions, its almost done.
I should get her back Wed. Major props to Turbo Turtle for an excellent job!
Break in and Tuning remain, basically the fun stuff!
