Hey guys,
The ute has collected a lot of dust since my last post. Planning on getting things moving again early next year.
I have just picked up a NOS Toyota T50 3T 5 Speed Gearbox. Pretty happy.
I'm now entertaining the idea of using forged rods and pistons since they are getting pretty cheap now.
The forged rods are $300 and come with ARP2000 bolts which saves me $60 having to buy the bolts to fit the standard rods plus the machining costs to get them modified so I may as well. Only thing is they suggest a 76mm bore. I was only planning to go out to 74mm. Not sure which way I will go yet.
JE make fully custom forged pistons for around the $600 mark. Not sure what specs I would build them to. Possibly just get them done identical to oversize OEM flat tops?
