I'm rebuilding my engine......

[Mr.Spool]

The heads are staying stock.

While you have it apart.
At least mill the head.
Lifters springs etc.
With a strong bottom end you may regret later not porting the head.
Definitely some things to think about

Would .010 require new pistons also? I suppose that what, if anything gets taken out of the bores is up to them. Point is, if I need new pistons, I might as well stroke. Ideally, I'll stick with the stock pistons and standard stroke.

I recently built a relatively big dollar motor, 3.6 Porsche air cooled 6. I don't want to go down another slippery slope.

AES, Elk Grove Village IL. is the builder.

stroking it will take you down the slippery slope

The engine parts have been dropped at the shop. At first glance they dont think the bores can't remain the way they are. Likely going .020 over. So new pistons will be part of the rebuild. Short block will consist of a new GN1 Performance crank, stock rods with ARP bolts, new forged pistons...etc. cam choice is still to be determined but I'm looking for a roller cam close to stock grind.

This car came in a state of disassembly that I'm just starting to get my head around. I dont think I'm missing much but I am definitely missing the exhaust crossover pipe. It did come with two sets of headers though. I'll likely go with the stainless ones. Where can I find a crossover for them?

Where can I find a crossover for them?

Who made them?

 

[mbrouder]

Who made them?

I was told they look like Chinese ATR knockoffs, that's all I've got. Something might need to be fab'd up or purchased and modified to work.

we have venders that will set you up with a set of headers and a down pipe that will fit with no conflict or fabrication needed that won't crack leak or burn a hole in a plastic finder.
your probably saying to yourself I don't have money burning a hole in my pocket. But trust me you will thank me after trying to fix old OE our CRAP Chinese three times.
