Building from the block up.
Hey I am new to TDR and have some questions that I hope someone can help me. I am building a 12 Valve engine from the block up and need some help and suggestions of parts and methods to build my dream truck my budget is around $10000 and the truck will be a spare daily driver/ play truck for the street I am hoping to make around 800HP within my budget
Some of my ideas are Head Studs, Fluidampr, ATS 3-Piece manifold, Afe intake, FASS 180 GPH System, Banks Twin Ram Intake, BD INTERCOOLER, Stage 3 Water / Meth. I was going to have the injection pump remand with 191 delivery valves and 4k GOV springs. I was also going to have my nv4500 remand and install the update nut and HD input shaft with the South Bend double disk clutch. Have the crank, rods balanced, magnafluxed. I have some ideas about most of the bolt-ons. I need some suggestions for within the block like a cam, cam with bolt on gear? pistons, fly cut? Ceramic coated tops and bottoms, and silicone skirts. Fire ringing, Valve springs, valves turbo, hydraulic lifters, pushrods. From what I can see the block looks in great condition with all six cylinders having their original crosshatch with no lip in the cylinders just some carbon all the bearings looked like normal ware for having 300000 miles.

Please let me know what you think any suggestions will be appreciated
Have a happy new year
Thanks
Matt
