Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) From ugly to yeller!!!

[CumminFast]

Check out these pics of my work truck. I bought this truck for $3500 w/ 240k on it. I have reconditioned alot of it. The engine doesn't leak a drop of oil and runs like a charm. I have still got a few things I need to do, but I am just going to take a break for awhile. Check out the before and after pics.

1998 Dodge 2500 5sp reg cab 4x4 12 VALVER - currently rebuilding

Uh oh what happened to the 98?

Well the pistons are cracked and the head is warped and cracked. I am going to get another head from Jeff Garmon. This one is a marine head so it will handle the 35 degrees of timing.

awe come everybody knows you gotta run some timing if you want big power and a flat hp curve. Mitchell runs what like 50 degrees of timing. Gotta love 12-valves.
