    Shotpeening rods

    Are they truly a necessity? The reason I'm asking this is because I really can't find no one that does them locally so I'm just looking like :shrug: for the time being. I'm just trying to do a basic rebuild because I'm not looking for 500 hp, just a reliable 375-400.

    A simple question

    I searched and haven't found anything info on this. (just probably don't know what to search for) But the shop that I plan on taking my block to do a rebuild doesn't do anything with the rods.

    Seriously...is there anyone around Montgomery

    One thing about us Bama Supra riders is that we are so spaced out. :nono: But I'm asking this to see if there is anyone around Montgomery and with experience in taking out a motor. I think I've found a engine at the Pull-A-Part here that I'm interested in but I will need help pulling it. I'm...

    Question about TEMS

    How to tell if it is still functioning properly? I know this is a kinda retarded question but I just want to know.
