The question is not how far. The question is, do you possess the constitution, the depth of faith, to go as far as is needed?

so i stripped the block down, bearings are spun to **** sooo im looking to...

- bore .50
- os pistons
- machine the crank
- new bearings
- new oil and water pump
- new distributor
- complete gasket replacement.


theres the list.


also im thinking about new clutch, valve job, new cams...



ive located most of the parts, but im curious as to what brands i should be looking to drop in and where i can get ahold of them...


im dropping the block off @ the machine shop tomorrow to get it cleaned up and whatnot. i have a connection @ the dealership so parts shouldnt be an issue...


any other ideas?

nate, a few things.
#1, buy the gasket kit from toyota.
most aftermarket ones are junk.
#2 why .050 over?
#3 if your doing all this work, ever think about forged pistons and 3s rods?
MCS motorsports will do your WHOLE bottom end for ~2k.
cp forged pistons, 3s shotpeened rods, with the rod journals on the 5s crank machined down to fit them.
that gives you a ROCK solid bottom end to build off of, and can handle TONS of boost.
for cam companys, dustin is hitting the dyno tommorow, he got his cams from www.webcamshafts.com .
the diffrence in the way the car feels is pretty amazing.
