just talked to rex.. probe pistons are out.. forged weisco's are going in now..

alittle advice if you plan to boost later then build it for boost, who gives a flip if your cam is to small or you need a larger cam. rex is gonna set it up for boost if thats what you told him, run what he reccomends he wouldnt offer it if it wasnt right!!!.. simple fact big cam little compression doesnt go together

by the way TEA makes a badass set of heads!! nice choice!!

you want big then go 25x/26x in a 408 just kidding thats the size i run

ok
there is a POSSIBILITY the 408 is not gonna happen now.. the transmission in the SS is not working properly.. not shifting outta 1st until 4500 rpm.. under load its not shifting ,etc
thanks to shifty.. we have a couple choices... a local joint here is gonna look it over tomorrow.. UGH.. NOT NOW..

SS is home .. ugh. .expensive bill.. but once again.. all in perfect order..
i might put a fan on the tranny cooler blowing inward... just gotta find one.

Pistons are in!

Good choice on piston manufacturers. I really like their low tension rings, just hope mine finally seal one day.
