Jyro · #1 07-01-2008, 02:02 PM

I have to bore the block do to number 4 cyl has some pitting. Going .020over. Any suggestions for performance build under $750. Car is my D.D. so 87 oct preferred. Need some good ideas.By the way it is an auto trans.

I assume becuase of the year you have sohc? try the dohc pistons for a little more compression.

I'm sorry, yes it is a SOHC motor but the wrist pin location is different between the 95-99 and the 2000-2005 motors. The second gen wrist pin os offset. I work in parts and dodge doesnt offer a .020 piston for either the sohc or dohc. I thought about je pistons but the price is outrageous. Any other ideas; please keep them coming

Get a different block... Save you alot of money otherwise get the hp pistons. The are cheap and work on stock rods I think. And they sell them in oversize bore.

I am a counter guy for a Dodge parts dealer and the only oversize they offer is .020 for a 95-99 sohc.

if your a counter guy, what is ur cost for a 99 r/t pcv valve, i think mine is shot
and for a mopar egr block off kit, seen here;

u get anyhting with a dodge or mopar part number for 10% above cost right?

Retail is 53.00 for P5007276 your cost 44.00 plus shippingand the pcv valve i will need the vin to decifer your exact motor, Dodge suckswhen it comes to telling specialty motrs such as the r/t and magnum motors

Just be sure to buy pistons for a sohc otherwise you may have clearance issues with the bowl on the head.
