It might be cheaper to work that 6.0. People sure don't give those L92's away...

 

Yeah, I was looking at TSP's 416 rotating assembly and it's like $2100 then I have to get my block machined and I haven't got prices on that yet. But I'll have to upgrade fuel, get a different cam because the 222/236 will be kind of small, so I'm figuring at least $3500 and I can find complete 80-90,000 mile 6.2's for $3500-4000 that I could drop in and build the 6.0 later for my regular cab. The ideal situation would be if I could find a 6.2 short block and use my l92 heads and this 222/236 cam and have some decent power. I'm going to get prices from some machine shops tomorrow and make my decision after that.

 

Dam DOD/AFM junk lifters !!

Sucks to see this man

 

I know.. I was pissed!

But at least now the wife is letting me build it how I want!

 

Cylinder 7 gets trashed the most because of the cooling system design (it has less cooling), not because of fueling. Just wanted to clear that up.

 

I remember reading something about that a while back but didn't think that's what caused this since I had a collapsed lifter too.

 

Hard to say if its related or not.

 

Yeah, all I know is it's broke so now it's time to make it faster.

 

I'm glad you mentioned the cooling issue because I found a lot more information on dead #7's. Looks like a good solution is remove the rear steam blocks and connect them into the front cooling crossover.

 

That certainly wont hurt. I use the kurt urban block thing on mine with -4 braided line from each corner up to that block which sits up on the intake.
