Just got my block back from L&M engines, they did the sleeves and I'll be doing the entire assembly myself.. Looking for low 8s and 1250-1350whp on kill, going to find the limits of the gen2 62mm turbos pretty quick probably.

Build List:
Sleeved block by L&M Engines
Diamond 11.5:1 CR Pistons
Wiseco Boostline Rods
All ARP hardware
Boundary OPG & CS
King bearings
MMR Oil squirter block offs

Pics!

Wound up returning the crank due to rust on the journals which was hard to see, waiting on the replacement now. In the meantime got the pistons on the rods!

Great build... couple questions. What do those rods weigh? Did you use a new crank? Did you have the rotating assembly balanced?

Can you PM me part numbers on the King bearings? I need to grab some for my build.

Looks amazing!!

Let the engine shop order the bearings. Most shops will run the same processes on a new crank as they would on a used crank. You won't know what clearances the builder wants or what ur working with till it's ready to assemble.
