Top swap

[Grimsin]

If you can barely afford a topswap I say wait. A topswap needs more flow unless you want to run rich and 9 times out of 10 topswaps immediately run into issues or chip a piston or worse. And they cost more then ppl say
Topswap $300
Headers 300'sh
Tune $200??
The you got gaskets and fluids still. Maybe some stuff I forgot
I got into the $800 range then said **** it and sold the topswap and threw on the headers, i say buy a l67 and throw it in that what I'll do one day.

Im buying top swap for 140 plus 190 on hd tranny. Plus zzp topswap gasket set for 190.

 

[TimMcCallum]

And 200 for tune

 

[TimMcCallum]

And I have an l26

 

[darkhorizon]

Your trans is broke now too?

 

[TimMcCallum]

No but its a 97 and will go out super fast if I dont swap for hd

 

[darkhorizon]

I dont see any reason to spend more than $80 on gaskets either. Sc. head gaskets. Head bolts. All you need

What? I and others have had no problems running 10s on a sd diff.

 

[Grimsin]

But if you run into issues do you have a different to car drive? Can you afford a major breakdown? Those are things to take into consideration also.

 

[TimMcCallum]

I need head supercharger lim valve cover and headbolts. Zzp sells the gasket/hardware kit for 180 comes with elbows and balancer bolt

 

[darkhorizon]

Whatever im an idiot its cool.

 

[TimMcCallum]

Is it alot cheaper to buy them seperately

Valve locks
90# Springs
Valve seals
Retainers
Chain
Dampner
Hows this sound?

 

[TimMcCallum]

For the springs will I need the modified retainers?

 

[TimMcCallum]

Either I can do that setup or I can do headers. Should I do all that first and than headers down the road or what? Or both
