Ordered argo rods and cp pistons, going to order the rest of the parts in the next few days.Does anyone know if I should go the whole atomic oil pump or just the billet gears? And the balancer, are the stock balancers known to fail/break etc etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running argo rods, cp pistons, ported head with aftermarket cams etc etc. Now I just have to rip the motor out for the engine builder to put it together.

But no mods to sump needed, its basically a bolt in conversion. There is no sway bar on the front, but ive been meaning to try an xg swaybar.It has had both an auto and manual in it. Manual bolts straight in like normal, but I am putting the C4 back in which use's an aftermarket bell housing. Rear gearbox mount is oem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
