Thousands I don't think so. I brought a new short block and sold it and got the aluminator it would of been cheaper if machine shops were not so backed up but thousands no.
Right now i'm on the 3.875 pulley and will be going to the 3.6 six rib when I install the fuel system, but I don't know how many pounds of boost it will be. I'm not trying to break the bank i'm still more than happy with it as is when it shows anything in nines im good.
I installed the Gen 3 12 to 1 Aluminator in my car 1200 miles ago. I went with head studs but that was all everything else stock. I got my gaskets from partsford.com.
After seeing on another thread someone talking about oil pump gears when I was replacing my short block I decided to check my oil pump gears and this was with a little over six thousand miles on them. I am also going to show the stock original pump gears with about the same mileage. To the...
I always run 93 octane but who knows what we are getting. I hope you have better luck than I did but having boosted cars sense the nineties I knew 93 was not the answer especially with cast pistons seen to many break on regular (91-93) fuel so it wasn't a surprise wish it was but oh well. No...
What warranty? I put a supercharger on knowing what I was getting into and thank goodness I do my own work. I am installing the new short block as we speak just taking a break.
Washed my car one Saturday got in to take a ride and check engine light was on. I cut it off went and go my code reader and got P0300 and P308, pulled the plug looks good. Decided to pull oil cap blow by is bad plus oil catch can is full. Pulled the engine and found this.
Thanks, I only got them because the one's I wanted were on back order at the time and someone at Beefcake did recommend them so I took a chance on his word. I am in the process of pulling the engine and they will be going on while i'm doing that. Again thanks
I got my car from Akins in the end of Sept 2019 and they were running ten grand off but wanted to of course go thur their financing. I finally got it after a couple of days for the advertised price.
Thanks and I did get a stock gen 3 which i'm selling and BTY the price went up sense last Monday at least at my dealer by a little over three hundred dollars. Anyway I also got the Aluminator at a good price for me. Selling the new stock block and keeping my core

If this is in the wrong section excuse me
Well I know my engine is hurt and after reading all the good and bad stories I have decided to get an aluminator 12:1 short block and be done so we shall see. Got a good price and will be ordering local Monday.
I've said it for years it all started in 1995 boosted fox and I was a crack head for years. Finally recovered and got a hit and now i'm back recovery gone
I did install OPG but I did all the work myself, but to be honest i'm more worried about 93 octane than the oil pump gears. The reason I say that is with my past experiences with boosted cars you are just gambling when using 93 and some don't even have that.
