Seems like half of you want me to do the 4.2, but then I'll have to supercharger that and everything is going to be rebuilt. Every nut, bolt, fasterner, everything.

Whats the vote for me to start over and go the 4.2 super route VS the 2.7 supercharged thats under way or possibly 2.7 twincharged.

Any way I can start a poll?

It sounds like you've done to much to start over with a 4.2, I personally would like to see the 2.7 twin charged.

Thanks for the link, hiwords. I read just about everything I can find and I think that will be helpful.

The 4.2 would be neat, but then I would want to twincharge that too.

So... I think I'm going to build something like oh I don't know...

Twincharged 3.0 stroker? I think so. It will be much like the eurospecsport 3.0 stroker longblock kit (with deck cooling and all that jazz). This is going to be a nightmare of a build but I love it. I'm going to grab a crankshaft out of a 3.0l 30v block. Anybody know how much power this crank will handle?

I caught the idea from here. He says its a drop in replacement. Prob go for 4 bolt main caps though.

Also, I received my order from ECS today. Theyre shitty pics as I took them with my shitty Moto Razr v9m camera. I know how much everybody here loves pics now

MOAR!

I noticed one of my rear wheel bearings is made in Germany, and the other China. Both *** branded, same numbers all over the box. What gives?

I LOVE PICTURES!!!11!1

Any obvious difference between the German part and the Chinese part?

Yes, the colour and the info etched into the inner of the bearing. I wish my digi didnt get stolen so I could take more detailed pics.

The red is made in germany and the black is made in china. So one quarter of my wheel bearings are made of rice and bamboo. Great.
