I also no way would trust those guys (MM&K) on part selection!!!!!! In my experience they are simply not in tune with anything latest and greatest. I've never personally dealt with Jeff Wick, but have heard very good things about him. Around here (SE Wi) my brother (he builds motors on the side...

MM and Kilpatricks seemed confused and that I was wasting their time when I asked basic stuff like square decking, cylinder bore spacing (after sonic checking wall thicknesses), quench, etc...........I just got the impression of guys stuck in the 70's that just "take 'er tirty over and clean up...

While taking the pics, now I remember that I actually did indeed mill material from the edges of the injector bosses for clearance, unfortunately I cannot remember how much I removed though! Hopefully the pics help.

valve cover spacers (1/2"), I needed them to clear my aftermarket rocker arms since I wanted to keep the valve cover baffles.....I can take a pic if you'd like.....

I used the Medice Mfg spacers. I assume with the SV intake you're not running stock rockers (or did you remove the baffles inside the valve covers)?

If I had to do it over again, I'd probably pass on the girdle (for my application).....the added expense and hassles for what you get in return is most likely not worth it.

I think I've had enough of the "do it right" preaching......pretty sure I've got a good handle on how to do things "right", was just asking for firsthand information so I can make an informed decision TO do it "right" instead of just guessing.

I don't disagree with the "fix it right" part, why do you think I asked how deep the induction hardening goes??!! if it goes a hundred thou deep, I'm not throwing my $$$ away by installing seats! If you KNOW the answer to my original question, please state so. But you didn't even attempt to...

allow me to clarify, this is a 300 dollar beater plowtruck with no interior, half the body left, etc.....i'm assuming to have seats installed would cost more than the truck is worth??

these are beyond lapping.....i bet the pits in the seats gotta be at least 10 thou deep, maybe more....
