All grade 8.8 but should be fine.
I could use them as long as [MENTION=64669]jferg92[/MENTION] doesn't need them. Otherwise, I'm heading to Fastenal.

LOL. Still haven't even got the most important piece. The blower itself. Should be delivered later this month. Pile is growing! And hoping to have the intake elbow, stock air box, H/E & bracket, and I/C res soon. Really liking this caged pulley. Even though Jferg doesn't approve of the color. Let me remind him what my engine looks like::::

Gears don't need a break in Jackedup. If they make it around the block, they're good. Trans, drive it "NORMALLY" then change the fluid & filter at about 500 miles. Any initial shavings & such will be removed with the filter. Motor, run it at 2000 RPM for about 20 minutes then drive it like you stole it! Change the break in oil at 500 miles then your good to go. Engine builder buddy of mine always warned me of babying a new motor. If its built right, it'll hold together.

Gears DO need a break in. Change fluid after 250-500 miles. I waited a little longer but they do have a break in period.

Doesn't sound too bad! I was gonna baby the hell out of it for a week or two lol. Since I'm getting a fresh motor with no history,should I run full synthetic in it?

Not on break in, but I do. What type of oil is the great debate. Everyone has an opinion. I like mobil1 and add a quart of lucas synthetic.

I would. Im going to be running Schaeffer's 5w30 from the get go. Why spend the money on a new engine and not put the best stuff in?

Diff fluid change after 500 miles.
