Sorry I I do not know for sure about the 250 - Main bolts.lavron":3fgqufqe said:drag-200stang":3fgqufqe said:You are doing great work, looks good.
Thanks.
Just to confirm, are the 250 and SBF (or which years/engines) main bolts the same size? I need a studded main bolt for my oil pump pick-up tube.
See Ya,
Mike

Speedmaster is absolute crap. Use the stock bolts, return the studs.lavron":1fbz4xzb said:drag-200stang":1fbz4xzb said:Oops, I saw arp and thought studs
Well I went ahead and ordered the studs, not sure if Speedmaster stuff is any good but ARP doesn't offer a set for the 250, hopefully studs will be an upgrade over stock bolts irregardless.
Also, if nothing happens the block is finally going next week to be bored, decked, balanced and the Aussie pistons pressed onto the 2.5L HSC/OHV rods. I will get there eventually :roll:
See Ya,
Mike

Did not C enuff detail to C the air bag set up, camera moved too fast over those details.

Did U locate a piston ("My Budget 250 build") for this combo? What is it? How far "dwn the hole" now? What duz the head cc out to now (or should I say nxt month, LOL)?
