looks expensive, whyd you buy the pushrods before you assembled the motor?

Cause he knew what he was building

it's called valve train geometry retard, build a motor and get back to me.

no replacement for displacement!

Got to love a BIG BLOCK.

its still a small block actually

I didn't. My engine builder did all the valvetrain geometry and ordered a custom set.

Kinda weird to do it with out an assembled short block but i guess all you really need is a crank/cam/block/ and some cylinder heads and you could do it...hope ya trust him .

Lemme know how it goes, you still gotta lane if i still get some space

 

[Junkie]

what sort of numbers are you looking at (at the wheels)?

I'm not sure how he did it since i wasn't there, but he had all the parts for it. don't worry man, we'll line up after its all done

Not sure. First runs will be on an extremely conservative tune, since I have to break the motor in safely. I also need a larger intake lid and MAF. I think the break-in runs will be in the 490's. Once its broken in, and the lid and MAF have been changed, and an aggressive tune, it should do 530+ rwhp.


Oh yeah, the shortblock was finished today. Longblock will be done on monday, and install will start sometime tuesday.

No, the stroke is too long and the piston skirts too short for any forced induction. It will be all N/A 12:1 compression ratio Beast.
