I have a friend that is a HUGE DSM guy. He use to own a shop with his dad, but his father passed away and sold the shop and now works out of his garage. Anyways if you want a rebuild for cheap he's the man. He just completed one for his buddy. It running 30 lbs of boost. Should be doing a mid - high 10sec car with a John Shepard trans in it. His name is John Drew. A lot of people know who he is up at Gary&Shick or at Strats. Great guy and he will not bullshit you.

30psi....and only running high 10's........doesnt sound right. whats the gearing? heads?


I have a person here in town that has an extra set of 1st gen rods/pistons, or if you want 2g pistons..I have 4 of those. with 1st gen rods, and 2g pistons..you can make close to 500 easy. what goodies do you have. no cmpression..sounds like someone didnt time the engine right. might need new exhaust valves.

I am building my 2g rigth now. I just need to pick up some bearings and I can throw it back together. It is relatively easy to do. what turbo are you using? or is it the stock TD05? if aftermarket, do you know if the coolant lines have been rerouted?

how does the head look? any valves white? what exactly do you want to do with it? dailey driver? or street/ strip, or full all out race? the 6 bolts are good motors.
