Under $4k budget build LA360 build

Careful on those "kits", John. Things like "oil pump"...do you wanna use theirs? Are you sure? I bought a Melling Hi-vol last time and the difference was amazing. I rarely had less than 60 pounds even when the oil was really hot after a hard run. The original pump in the car had around 20 at idle, less if it was good and hot. Rod and crank bearings; go with the good stuff. Gaskets...Fel-Pro for me every time. It's the little things that matter.

I just got off the phone with Mancini and the rebuild kit comes with a Felpro gasket set, Clevite Michigan 77 main, rod and cam bearings, 405CP’s with Moly rings, Melling oil pump and freeze plugs for $419.95. You can upgrade the piston to the KB 107’s for $180 more. It checks out as far as good, but the price isn’t a crazy deal. I gave “Wes” **** about my order and he’s going “to take care of me” on my next order and my front suspension rebuild kit will be shipping Friday. $600 isn’t a crazy deal, but if there’s a nice discount involved I might buy be a buyer down the road, but that’s if I can’t find a nice deal on pistons.
