Message: [QUOTE="Oil Field Trash, post: 1385308, member: 9459"] Thanks to years of reading PSA build threads, I decided it was time to nut up and truly build one my trucks... thanks pricks! LOL Pictures will come tomorrow when my phone is charged. Late last winter one of our company trucks decided it was a good time to loose #3 injector and crack the piston. It has been a good truck for 285,000 miles with no major issues, so I cannot complain. We did not have the capability of being down to one company truck, especially since it pulls our gooseneck trailer. So Dad and I decided to swap in my good running 95k mile engine out of my RCLB and I would use the old one as a core to build. After talking with Josh Davis and Morgan Primm on Facebook about what my plans were, I decided that I needed to make a trip to IL. So on our way to the Mid America Truck show in Louisville KY we made a minor detour in our trip from MI to KY, by way of central IL. I dropped the short block and injectors off with Darrin at RCD and the heads off with Jared at Midwest. The minor detour only added 4 hrs of driving to our trip to KY. But the extra day off work was much needed and getting to see these two shops in person was well worth the drive. I mean getting to rub my nuts on Clausen's and Gorman's trucks at Midwest made it so worth it! LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL Short block got the following: - RCD machining - RCD balanced the rotating assembly - 30 over, delipped, fly cut, and ceramic coated pistons - R&R rods - RCD stage 3 billet cam - RCD push rods - Mahle lifters - ATI balancer - Elite billet flex plate...because my Suncoast flex plate didn't want to cooperate - ARP hardware kit (balancer, flex plate, and crank shaft adapter) - RCD Aluminum oil pan Injectors got the full RCD treatment after a set of their 60% nozzels Heads got the Midwest works! - Race port - ceramic coated - valve guides - RCD springs - Stage 3 Midwest intake The heads and intake look amazing!
