finally got my heads on the way

[talon6]

the heads are the last piece of the engine buildup that i needed to get. got them on the way today. got the eq iron ram 2.02's. now i just need to decide if i am gonna have them ported or not. i mean, i know it would be better to get them done, but just donnt know if i am gonna. got them from odessa cylinder heads. they are on ebay, but i called them direct. 760$ shipped to my door. the best price i could find.

now i just need to get my torque conv, shift kit, trans filter, and fluid. probably get the tc on the way next week.

i am getting closer. cannt wait. hopefully by the end of jan the motor should be getting tore down.

pumped!!!!!!!

That 5.9L is gonna fly! Keep us posted on your mods and Datalogging is also a good way to see the improvements on paper as you go. Good Luck with the heads!

 

[talon6]

glad the holidays are over. had the money for the heads just didnt want to get **** started at the house.lol

i need to get something to datalog with. i mean i have a a/f guage installed but it doesnt log or anything.

probably goin with patc for the torque conv. talked to a few people about them and it seems nobody has anything bad to say about them.

 

[03MopaRamman]

Does an SC 3815 work with the 5.9 set-up? Don't know much about the 2nd gen PCM vs Chips.

 

[03MopaRamman]

Stopwatch?

 

[talon6]

actually, i still have my 3815. it will not datalog with mine. sucks. i tried it a few times awhile back.

and i hear ya on the stopwatch. looked at a couple datalog setups, just never purchased one.

i plan on datalogging this summer at the mopar nationals.lol

 

[03MopaRamman]

The Nationals...that'll do it.

 

[talon6]

shooting for 14's. i am gonna try to have 4.56's by then too. probably will. plan on getting gears installed with my taxes.

i really,really want a procharger. but i cannt get myself to get off that kind of money for it. 5k$ is a nice little chunk.

 

[KGBIGCOUNTRY]

You could looking into a LCM-1 to datalog A/F verses rpm but just taping it so you can replay it back should work good with your AEM.

 

[johnnysart]

Congrats-looking forward to the video. as a fellow 5.9er I am looking foreward to seeing more.

 

[AWE Daniel]

Sounds badass!

 

[talon6]

never really thought about videoing it. good idea.

 

[talon6]

heads shipped. should be here like mon or tues. sweeeet.

 

[talon6]

they arrived today. just about ready for the motor build. ya!

 

[shadow11]

Sweet!!

 

[Bigtman07]

Schweet!! Can't wait to hear all about the build!!

 

[talon6]

shooting for the end of jan for the build up. i just need to decide if i am gonna do my tranny stuff right along with the motor build or after. i was wanting to do it all at once(be easier that way) but it would be nice to see what kind of gains each gave me.

 

[KGBIGCOUNTRY]

If you think the tranny will hold together with the built engine then you could wait... I would build the trans at the same time though.

 

[talon6]

trans shifts great now. but that doesnt mean very much when you start throwing extra power at it. you know that these 46re trans arent the best anyway. but mine does only have 65k on it. i am thinking it would hold up for a little bit. just enough to see if there is a difference.

i am not planning a whole lot for the tranny anyway. shift kit,tc,deep pan,temp guage, and have the bands adjusted. gonna take it to a guy i know who has worked in a trans shop for atleast 25yrs. and probably see what else he says. he will probably want me to pump it up alot more. especially when i tell him i am planning on a procharger in the future too.

 

[lastrights]

there a guy on another forum running a 408 supercharged on stock tranny and he has not had any problems . id see what your tranny does with the mods 1st then go from there .
