Got my motor yesterday

[Trevor]

i found a set of used heads for 30+ ship so i may go that route lol

[Trevor]

well i took a spark plug tap with the same size threads as the original hole and ran it in with some grease on it and pulled out a few metal shavings then took a new plug and it thread right in all the way tight far as i can tell.

Didnt ever add a helicoil or insert, The plug looks to be sitting flush and will tighten down all the way with a socket like the rest. Weird maybe i got lucky.

[Trevor]

Somebody recommend me a good cam size. i dont wana go to big and have to have a huge stall since its a daily. but id like to run low 13s and have almost 400 at the crank.

Untill the spark plug blows out of the head!

It was never missing any threads. just needed to be cleaned out i guess. Good to go now.

Every large cam I know of capable to putting your around 400 is going to take a good size stall.... If you are getting the head work done it should buy you a lil more room to play dependent on your CR... If you are wanting it done right and have it optimal you may want to get a custom spec'd one...

Well i want a mid grade cam basically. I plan to get the extra power down the road when i save some money for a fast truck intake and 243 heads


Possibly considering a 3200 stall and a tsp220 cam with ls6 springs and 7.4 rods

hmm. Id go bigger cam with better springs.... like a tsp228 with a set of 918s.... What you listed is closer to what a good 5.3 would need....

[Trevor]

Im looking for a mild street setup. Nothing to break records with. keep in mind im coming from a bone stock 4.8 and a bone stock 4.3 before that.

the 228r is a fine set up with the right stall and tune it should be pretty streetable.
