well I did it at last, got a DSS shorty

[blksn955.o]

after about a year+ (have had to drive it the last 5-6 months since the Broncos AOD blew in early December, just got all that straight) with a 35% press drop in a cyl. I finaly got around to ordering a new short block.

orderd a DSS pro bullet 306. I decided not to get the long rod as in the end thought I would not use the high rpms (I know it adds power lower too) and want to put the extra 200 to a tweecerR/T. Anyway polished forged rods, there "free upgrade" to pro lite pistons, cnc'd block, arp rod/main studs, girdle, ball./blueprinted, sealed power rings shipped with a 6mo warranty was 2229.95$ took me forever to get the cash (see year+) but I hope its worth it.

Thats a good choice...you just transferring the GT40s and all over???? Almost went that route last year....thr 306 shortblock...

wow only $2,200 for a block like that. Im really thinking of doing a 331 Stroker for next yr. Throw on a set of AFR Heads and say hello to 400 + RWHP

Cool. I have been putting back a little cash for a S/C for some time and don't really feel comfortable bolting one onto my stock bottom end. I am getting the rest of the car prepped (clutch, suspension, brakes, etc.) and have been looking into a new shortblock. I want to do it right the first time and not blow the heads of the damn block six months down the road. And like Striped said, that is a hell of a deal of the shortblock.

I do plan on puttin my gt40 heads and tfs 1 cam on that block, I also came across a awsome deal on a explorer intake so I will sell my TMoss intake. I just want a nice low 13's N/A after a tweecer n/a, and mid low 12 on the jug, and not have to worry about the shortblock.

If I wanna go faster I want to do it in a fox a nice notch or hatch with a turbo.
