24V Engine build advice
Well I think I have found a motor to build. I cound a non 53 block with 88k miles for a good price to replace my cracked 53 block. I am hoping to get it next week. I am wanting to send it to a local diesel engine builder and have it compleatly torn down, hot tanked, check & clean up everything. Im going to have it ballanced, re ringed with all new barings ect... I am going to also do a new cam (thinking of the Hamilton "Big Stick"), Valve springs, push rods, Lifters (if need be). I am also going to have it O-ringed & steded, Also thinking of doing some port & polish work to the head when its off & apart. Please give me your advice on what else to do or what you would recomend. TIA

Maybe a 3rd gen head swap ?
I'm starting to think about the same project myself, only. I have no money |
What ya going to be using it for? Daily Driver? Race?
|
Didnt the marine blocks come with steel piston cooling nozzles? If so, I always said I would put a set in mine if I ever tore it down.
|
What's your budget?
The short list you have can be pretty expensive. |

$6K is just scratching the surface... you could easily sink $20K into a CTD build.

Oh trust me I know that. But im not trying to build a full race motor & I dont have that kind of money spend on it right now:argh:

Does anyone have the part number for the metal piston cooling nozzles?
