  1. I hate it when you have to sell me your transmission because mine is going to the shitter. Such a sad day. I should be able to go pull the motor ect for you soon. What do you want done with the motor? I may offer to store it for you. In a nice enviroment. Unless you wanted it in your huge massive enormous garage that should really be turned into a work space .

  2. Boost prep idea went out the window, especially when a headgasket and ARP studs are 450 without shipping, I just got an OEM head gasket and studs for 50 dollars..... so thats a thing. Getting the head rebuilt by a local guy, full valve job and deck. Did an awesome job on another m50tu. Motor parts have been ordered and motor disassembly will start... tomorrow?

  3. How far should I go with this motor re-build? Do I really need to do the main and crank bearings? or is that just extra money and time and work for something that really isn't a wear item anyway? Same question with piston rings, I would assume piston rings would be a decent idea, but is it really needed? I know I need to do a valve job and an MLS Gasket and ARP studs, because I am going to boost prep the motor while I am in there anyway, and if I can source s50 cams those would go in at the same time I think but who knows anymore. I picked up a laptop the other day after selling my desktop to TJ, so that was a good amount of money that could have been used in the swap, but you kind of need a computer to sell things efficiently, and realOEM does not work on my phone ;)

    All in all, progress is being made (kind of)
