Right!? My wife was cracking up as I waited by the door for the UPS truck to arrive

I’ll have to say, these pistons feel like a very quality piece. My hat off to wiseco’s product manufacturing and quality control!

Lmao, right! But the list continues to grow.. this whole motor build thing doesn't seem to stop.. I keep telling myself.. "Well, While I'm in there I might as well...."

I was considering doing this, buying all the parts and having a machine shop do the block and balance the assembly, but do you think you'll save any money over just buying a TSP or LME shortblock?

Oh absolutely... Both TSP & LME would be charging me an ARM n A LEG to use the level/quality of parts that I have acquired for this build. If I was okay with paying full retail for each part I have chosen then.. yeah sure... but Black Friday savings did help. Either way. Your looking at 15-16k all said n done.
