Just bigger injectors and stronger parts.

No fire rings, there isn't anyone around here with alot of experience with the machine work involved and I cannot afford the freight to have them sent out. I will be using Cometic head gaskets, I am not very concerned with popping one since before I was running stockers with studs with ZERO issues. The Cometic's were more appealing to me anyways because their ability to "reseal" if they were to ever start to leak and get me home.

Ha.. If you learn anything from this its that these engines are one of the most expensive to build, and get the least amount of power.

Still cheaper than a new one though.

Don't take that the wrong way, no trying to discourage anyone. When it comes don't the the "bang for the buck" factor, it is not as good as other platforms. I still wouldn't trade my ole 7.3 for anything else, because when it comes down to reliability, simplicity, and durability (within reason) no other can even compare IMOH.

They don't balance to "RPM", but they are balancing it to +- 1 gram.

The motor will be getting the Fluidampr Balancer. IMHO the Fluidampr is a superior design, a little heavy but no rubber to wear out compared to the ATI.
