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

Daily driver. That I want to have some fun with from time to time.
Ya ummm... I know its not going to be cheap but it should be pretty damn nice when its done. I figure its prob going to be at least 6k maby more by the time the new motor is in my truck.
