Keep updated, would love to know how the build goes

 

Ok so I went to a web site ....

R&D IDI Performance ..... I will be building a new engine from the ground up .... if you read about the cam they have .... 34 psi of boost ... dang ... I'm going to swap my dodge's hx35 to the ford and buy a hx40 for the dodge ... acceptable trade im sure... would like 20psi and we will build from there ... I had no idea that they could get these things to go that far under boost ... gonna have to play with this

 

I've heard nothing but good things about them, and I've been looking at their cam, but would love to see how it performs first, what's the time frame you're shooting for?

 

after Taxes ... i will be buying parts .... need to tow it to the shop and tear down first .. have block and heads looked at and such ... gonna be a time gobbler build .... might take till next winter to finish ... will see

 

I'm wanting to pull the motor out of my truck before school so I can reseal my oil pan as it leaks like a waterfall all over my driveway (The HOA loves me ) and just repaint the engine, really wanting to do this truck up, but just haven't found the means to do it. Also going to weld up my dual mass flywheel while it's out, it's starting to sound pretty aweful

 

just stuuff a single flat flywheel and re use ur clutch if it looks good ..... welding it will only make it out of balance and then ur gonna create harmonics that will kill engine and trans ..... do it right or dont toutch it ..... my .02$

 

Everyone I talked to said it costs about 700 to convert to a single , but am I able to just swap out a 7.3 flywheel? People are saying I would have to get a new clutch setup

 

Never herd that .. they take the smae clutch and pressure plates from my understanding .... is urz a ZF ?

 

the transmission is a zf5, just looked it up at oreileys, the single flywheel is only $150 out the door, where as the dual mass is $1078..........

 

Isn't the dual mass an 11" and the flat a 12", or is that just the flywheels that are different sizes? I remember when I replaced mine I figured I had the smaller one got home and couldn't get it to bolt, went back to O'reillys and got the 12" and it bolted up. Can't remember all the specifics but do remember their is two size options.
