Thread: New build.

^lol.

should be a fun build none the less. like the mess of words that have been stated theres more proven cams then the thrasher cam.

Mike all race ya but i need to stop dickin around with stuff and get this thing where i want it. still learning on the tuning part.

Well a little update, got the cam and shortblock sitting in my garage. Hopefully going to order a timing set and gasket kit this week and get the bottom end ready to go.

Fosho is running it. The octane is 100+, you need big injectors and possibly a better fuel pump and most important a good tune. Also you will have to change out your fuel filter a few times because it will clean out the tank.

you need to do a little searching my friend. there are a lot of threads on this.

Well I ordered some parts tonight.
130# springs with modded retainers
Rollmaster double roller (need to machine the crank gear)
gasket kit
flex bolts
cam bolt
crank bolt
another supercharger my coating is allmost gone I was only seeing about 8 psi on a 3.2
I plan on getting the engine together in the next couple weeks and getting it in. By then I will have the cash for 65# injectors, fuel pump rewire, new headlights lol. (sold my stockers to my cousin cheap tired of seeing him drive a baby around with one headlight missing.) It should be done before spring break, unless I need to get something for another vehicle in the mean time. When I am done with this I am going to get my truck in the garage and get that going finally.

just wondering why your going to machine the crank gear when the rollmasters are revised for that issue.

Would you take the chances even if they say they are revised? Negative ghost rider. I had mine machined anyways for that reason...that's like the White Star Line saying the Titanic would never sink and look how many people died...I'll save my motor and be safe though.

did u machine yours like stock as well?

Yes...hence my last post.

There are still a lot of motors running rollmaster's for years with no problems, but I would get in touch with Farnsworth about the machining, he should have a thread here about what exactly needs to be done.

I would rather not take chances and just have it machined so it will work right. Anyone know how much needs to be machined off the oil pump cover?

Never mind found it. 0.020

you dont need to machine the pump cover if the crank gear fits right. machine the crank gear to look exactly like the stock one.

Thats what I plan on doing, taking the stock one and the rollmaster in and tell them to make the rollmaster look like stock.

are u doing just the crank gear? doesanything have to be done with the cam sprocket or leave that alone?
