My hands are getting greasy
Hello everyone, first post here but there will be many more. My 03 D'max was suffering from a bad head gasket (most likely) so I swapped in another motor and am just tearing down the original mill.
I don't plan to go into the bottom end (100,000 miles) but am looking to buy head studs. I may also key the cam. The fun part will be deciding what to do about the turbo. I am thinking maybe a BD Supermax or perhaps twins, what do you all think? I use the truck daily and tow moderate loads up steep long hills. I'll keep to stock RPM but would like more torque from through the whole band. I've been running a superchip on 2 with a boost bleeder running about 27 psi max.

Sounds like you got a project.

Welcome. Studs and twins (sounds like a porno), rods and pistons if it is in the budget. Since it is down, build a good base to add onto later when the small twins just aren't enough anymore.
