#59274, "Where to buy Pistons, Rods, Bearings,etc...cheap (bottem end basically)"
Sep-15-03 11:36 AM by xEclipsE RaceRx



          

Im tryin to do a lil research on the cheapest price I can find like Je pistons, eagle rods, clevite bearings, arp studs, mopar gaskets, melings oil pump, stuff like that. I tried Jegs, but gave up cuz they dont carry it for the 420a, well didnt see it listed anyways. Just wondeirng if you guys knew of any sites or good places?

Howell sells a bottem end kit for $1099 but their pistons are 8.6 i want 8.8

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.

If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.

the felpro is a nice gasket set the mopars cost the same just takes me 1-3 weeks for them to arrive when fenton is out of stock was too much hassle and i actually like the felpro a bit better..


now why would a sell a bottom end kit without rings that would suck not having a working motor....

IE yes they are in there

Hmmm...you got me all anxious and feeling evil inside now lol...I was talking to your bro, and I said I might come over Friday...is that cool with you? You get off work at what 4? Im thinking i might get my maching work done at napa...not unless you know where else to go? Matt told me about napa...and i just so happen to have a good freind that works there, so we'll see what price he gives me for a .020 bore,hone, balance, blueprint, and resurface.....but man...I cant wait to do this...im probably just gonna end up buying the bottem end kit from Bill. Still want to try and do atleast a stg 1 turbo kit at the same time to take advantage of this low compression.

Machine work will probably include bore and hone with torque plate, deck block, clean block, magnaflux, remove and replace freeze and galley plugs, check align bore, and clean and polish crankshaft. We'll balance the internals and blueprint the assembly ourselves... sound good?

Friday night I'm going to the DMB concert at Amsouth Amplitheatre. Saturday would be good I think. I get off work at 3:00 in Brentwood.

I think we'll be okay to use standard size bearings... gotta check that crank though.

How much is the bottom end kit from Bill? We may be better off buying local... I have a guy that can get me great deals on 420A internals. I can get MOPAR gaskets within 24 hours at discount cost. And ARP head studs... main studs aren't a big deal but we can use them if you want.

We need to talk dude... I'll let you know if Saturday is okay.

MP keeps a whole line of custom JE pistons in stock for the 420A in addition to rods from Eagle and bearings from main bearings to rod bearings in stock.

Check out our website, we are slowly but surely updating it and we have them in stock. Give us a call if we can be of help- we can usually ship the same day you order by Fedex !
