I thought about pulling a couple bearing caps, and maybe I mentioned that, but decided against it at the time.

Thanks, yes they are magnetizing the crank and the block. If there’s anything keeping the crank from being repaired, I’ll go to a forged 4.25” stroke crank.

I never pulled a rod bearing, just the main cap needed to pound in the new dipstick. So I never really could determine health of the rod bearings.

It's certainly possible that the issues I was...

Looking at your pictures I believe you have an early solenoid, so yes you'll have that expense regardless.

If you can find a second hand Quick 4, the unit itself doesn't matter what transmission...

120mm wheels do NOT fit on 120.65mm wheels. Will they physically mount? Yes. What happens however is that as the lugs are tightened it either elongates the mounting holes on the wheel, or bends...

The Gas Truck 4l80e converters are actually pretty decent factory pieces. Yeah it may not be optimal, but I don't necessarily think it'll leave you wanting, unless you're really chasing 10ths.

Yup, I have already discussed this with them. They'll remove all lifter galley plugs during the cleaning process.

The cylinder walls are in great shape. Much of the cross-hatching is still there with some minor thrust side wear. The block will only get honed to spec for a +0.040 piston, and done so with a...

This is pretty much what the machine shop said as well when I dropped it off this morning. I had them look at the thrust bearing and they noted that it was normal.

Sounds like the engine just got...

I'm still doing the full build, so the money isn't necessarily changing. Although, I'll be able to sell the cam. I know there's a couple people looking for stump puller type cams.

I don't know much of the engine's history. When I purchased the car in 1998, the engine was claimed to be fresh at the time. The previous owner didn't furnish any receipts or documents related to...

I'm not an expert on these. But I believe that you can not put a late sprag on an early drum. You would have to change the complete drum itself.

That said I don't believe at the power level we...

Finally got a full weekend that I wasn’t busy, so I was able to get the engine out and disassembled.

I believe that is the case for 91-93 model transmissions.

Is there a reason you believe the cam needs to be replaced, or is this more of a piece of mind type situation?

With a hydraulic cam, I don't think I would necessarily measure from a valve spring. ...

The sewing machine sound is likely your rockers. That is normal for many full roller rockers. I had ticking lifters for years without issue, other than they were annoying.

If you’re asking about the progression ignition, yes. It must be attached to manifold vacuum so its internal MAP sensor can function.

You can't think about it in terms of boost retard with a system like the Progression ignition, or any type of table based ignition controller.

Instead, you'll build a spark map based on engine...
