Final build list.....Hopefully...

Specs-
1992 300 I6
Speed Density
178k miles

Currently has a slight stumble on acceleration @ 1,000-sh RPM's...IF you hold it there constantly....I'm thinking TPS goin bad...

Also, currently has 3 oil leaks...Maybe more if I REALLY cleaned the engine up to find'em....

SO here goes...

Complete Engine Seal & Gasket kit- $122
Cloyes Steel Timing Gears- $89.95
New Main Bearings- $56.95
ARP Head Stud Kit- $89.95
Headers- $359

The only thing I haven't gotten to is seeking a machine shop to port and polish my head, and install 1.90" Int/1.60" Exh valves....

And figure out a cam kit that'll fit my needs...I'm looking for Idle-4,500rpm band....If at all possible...

And the addition of a set of pistons....And from my research, a set of 390 engine pistons will fit the bill...having the same pin diameter, etc....

Anything else I need to look at before I get everything done?

Other than the above list of parts....Here's the rest of it...
-Polish the crank journals
-Add 390 pistons
-Camshaft kit (Camshaft/lifters, valve springs, locks, etc)
-Add 1.90" Intake, 1/60" Exhaust valves (Gotta let that puppy breathe)
-Flow match everything as much as possible
-Hot tank the block and head AFTER the machining...To get rid of any particles...
-MegaSquirt System w/ Wide Band O2 Sensor


So for now..Thats all that's set in stone...

You can use 351w pistons too, just need to have the rods bushed. May be more options for the 351w vs. 390.

You'll have it balanced, of course?

Naturally....No way in hell I'd put that amount of money in it, and not balance it...
