    Bout to start on building a 3406c 3zj serial number motor. Goin in a 379 day cab, what are some options I can put on it other than steel pistons that’ll make it hold and get 525-550 horsepower? Thanks in advance

    If I had it out I would definitely go E if possible. They are a lot better platform. Putting aside the fact that finding a guy who knows the mechanical platform. I’ve come to see so many think they are easy and get their ### handed to them. They are very expensive to learn on
