I am building up a stock 3.8 turbo block and need some help with what bearing to use and part numbers.I am using a eagle new crank and steel main capps.Any help with rings and pistons and tricks of the trade would be a great help.My combo is listed below.Would like to be and stay in the mid 10's without worries(without pushing too hard)
Thanks in addvance!

I would "ASSUME" that your machine shop if familiar with setting up a turbo Buick short block?

Many "tricks" include setting the bearing clearances, re-sizing the rod PROPERLY, machining the rod bearings to fit the Eagle crank, setting up the rotating assembly balance properly, improving oil flow through the pump/timing cover and a few others.

Hi Nick
He did build a couple buick engine around 5 years ago and they still live.I printed out the three part engine build up that was in GM High Tech as another guidealong with the Power 6 book.I thought I would post this to see if there was any other helpfull tips.
Nick,if you were any closer to me i would bring it down.Money is not a issue but distance is.
I just also installed a PTS race tranny with a pro torque 4000 stallN/LU with a bat brake and also added DFI . Just trying to make it right.
Thanks
