alright here we go. as a couple of you already know that I have a blown oil-ring in my Taco. This prevented me from making the run with some folks in N.H. at Thanksgiving time. which really pissed me off 
I'm burning a qt every 60 to 100 miles except for the highway it's not that bad. It was the purpose for making the trip to new england to start with BUT I did end up with another kick ass tattoo by one of my oldest friends Kevin Darling of Renaissance Tattoo Woonsocket RI. Anyhow I've decided to beef up the 2.7 since I have to take it all apart.
This is what myself and a couple of the techs here at work have decided to bore 30 over and go for 10:1 on the pistons port & polish head to 2mm o s valves getting the stage 2 cam with adj. gear upgraded injectors big bore intake and T/B and by next summer I should have the supercharger & fifth injector kit. I know a lot of you will say do a v-8 swap but I already have one of those and I've never taken a motor apart and not done something to it.That just doesn't make sense to me. I'm dealing with LCE on this build since they are pretty much the only ones that have almost every thing I need. My friend Neil will be doing the porting and BMS will be doing the rest of my machine work. Myself & Matt will do the tear down. Myself, Tom and Neil will do the final assy. Tom will do the final adjustments and tweaking. I was only gonna build up the lower end but after going back and forth with the guys over at custom tacos I'm convinced I'd be wasting my time and $ if I didn't do the supercharger I would have ended up with too much top end and not much going in the lower end so to balance it out I decided to add the SC and upgrade intake and TB but not all at once unfortunatly.
