just order a block guard and make good friends with a machine shop. beware however that block guards can be prone to causing cooling issues. so you might make sure you have a good radiator or at least an efficient cooling setup.

will a block guard hold up to 25ish psi, (about 400+ hp)?

4) Crower turbo cams, Crower dual vlave sreing, titanium retainer, crower stainless valves

5) AEM plug and play comp

6) 750 cc injectors

where would you suggest i get those sleeves?

 

[piggy96]

well was planning on ordering sleeves from JG engine dynamics or AEBS then getting my machine shop up here as they are in california and im in Toronto, Canada. JG Sleeves can be bored from 81mm to 86mm. Is there a more simple or cheaper way, the sleeves from my machine shop are more $$$ then ordering them and then getting the shop to install them
