    just got my first ms3 08 with few bolt ons already done like cobb fmic,garret gt3071r, hpfp, acces port, grim speed boost controller, 3” exhaust, but it had spun bearings, so i just got motor down to bear block today and got to get to machine shop monday and get parts list together!
    so far i think i’ll go tuff rods, platinum pistons 88mm, new crank not sure if need keys or not,king bearings, studded main and head, clean injectors and cork sport seals, have head check and valve job , cometic head gasket, pcv plate and 2nd gen valve cover ! is there anything else i should do or suggestions on what you guys would do ? not sure i want to go aux fuel just yet , mainly build block and get going going and some miles in every thing and if want more power later add fuel and bigger turbo, just want quick reliable street car ! and i need clutch and flywheel opinions ! and motor mounts !
