After i gathered everything together i have decided to send it all to Steen Racing to be machined and built by a pro. The reason i made this choice is the tolerances in a modular are tight and if you don't know what your doing exactly you will either starve your main bearing and cause failure or make them too loose and cause failure. I saw a guy on modular depot who was a decent mechanic do this to his own build so i am making the wise choice here. Also the needed tools are expensive. Beside the standard tools you'll need a rod bolt stretcher etc. I have assembled all of the best parts and i don't want to have to redo it again next year so i want piece of mind. Your best bet is buy a complete Long block (shortblock + heads/cams) from a good builder . You only save a few hundred dollars doing it yourself and the tools would cost more then that.</p></blockquote><p></p>
