I purchased my first dsm back in july of 2009 for a mere 1800 dollars!! The body is in beautiful shape the only problem was the head gasket was blown.....so for 5 months i looked online and came across this site and realized how big the dsm community really is. This got me extremely excited and made me really want to get this project on the road. I pulled the 7 bolt motor and decided to go with a 6 bolt block and use my 7 bolt head....so far here are the parts i have gathered
ARP Head studs
Oem Main bolts
Balance Shaft Delete
Cometic Head Gasket
JMFab torque plate....for future machine work
Arias Pistons 8:1.....picked up on craigs list NIB for 250!!
Eagle rods...same person 250 bucks
So far thats all my wife will allow me to get.. my goal is a 500hp weekend driver/track car. This is not my DD.
If i could get ne input on any other mods or ideas that would be great.
Im open for any and all suggestions
