84 Crew Cab Rebuild

I have a few ideas for you, if you dont mind.

1. Get the RACOR 645 Spin-on fuel filter/water separator. It will save you money and your engine will last longer.

2. While you have the engine out of the truck, upgrade it before you get the S/C.

3. ARP 6.5 diesel head studs

4. DSG Stud girdle kit

5. DSG Gear drive timing (If money is no option)

6. Replace your stock weak cast nodular iron crankshaft with either a cast steel($400 stonger than stock) or a forged steel($1000 and strongest) one.

If I think of anything else I'll let you know. If you want the links to any of these parts let me know. Which supercharger kit are you buying? Are you building your own?
