I saw it, but the only coil overs I knwo anything about are the drag racing ones, and I don't think they'd work too well on your 4x4. so you may need to wait until Nick get back and ask him, as that's what he's doing to his beast, right?

Nah, go get one of those cheapy air grinders from harbor freight (like the $10 ones!), and then get your porting kit from Eastwood. That's all I have, and it works great. Get the carbide burrs as well as they help remove large amounts of material fast.

Why the heck are head bolts for 460's so dang expensive???? They are just bolts, not gold!

I can handle that. Ive got to make another order up for Jegs(push rods) and I think they have the porting kits. Ive got a set of carbide burrs already...somewhere.



Honestly, coilovers and 4link systems just seem so much work to get exactly right and be useful. Its true they are the chit once set up properly but my shade tree fab isnt up to par with tackling a job like that plus learning all the minute details. I think the SD springs will suit my needs well enough.

I guess thats just me being a whiney beeotch.

Never mind, I forgot you're running the TFS heads, and I still have the stock irons.

I see why but dont understand it.

Aluminum head ARP bolts(ARP 155-3603 - ARP Hi-Performance Head Bolt Kits - JEGS) are cheaper than cast iron head ARP bolts(ARP 255-3701 - ARP Professional Series Head Bolt Kits - JEGS).
