The classifieds have definately crossed my mind the past few months! At least mine's runnin now and aside from some minor tuning, running well. Doing 1st oil change today...do another 1-1.5k miles then go synthetic - then push the boost up to 10-11lbs and see what kinda power it can make...Good luck and I hope urs works well out of the gate!

I run synthetic in everything. Honestly i was suprised my blazer's engine held up against the hell i put it through. it's seen 6500 or more on many many occasions. The guy that built it did pretty good i guess.

If you have time and are willing I need my cam put it. I'm low on $ right now because of getting the trans but I can throw some your way as soon as i get some. I'd like to put it in before the dyno but it's not likely.
and I'll be damned if i don't bring your oil primer with me to the meet. I've had that thing way the hell too long. I never see ya any more so i tend to forget.

call me stupid but is a 370 a 6.0 .030 over? Just wonder as seeing how build number 2 for my 92 is starting with a 6.0 block. I get the motor tomorrow and if the block needs work I was thinking of just pushing .030 over and keeping the stock crank and going forged with the rest. The 92 is my dd and once this is done it will be time to take the 6.0 out of my 02 for a little over sizing.
