LMAO. 8 months. Right.

 

3-4 weeks.... lmao.......

Machine shop alone will probably take that time.

 

Woot!

 

Let's see how long it takes. You have a contact.

 

Are you still on the stock 4.59?

 

yes

 

What rods will you be running? The reason I ask is once you get over 800hp with steel rods it becomes paramount that the tune is perfect. If not, you will have issues like you just had, rod bearing failures. I like too see 625 bolts instead of the arp2000’s above 800 also. Just a thought.
That plug you burnt up was most certainly preignition, was it on the same cylinder you had the rod failure? #4?

 

decided to stick with turbo tuff rods. Was going to go aluminum rod but after some research I think the steel rods are going to best suit my needs. And no the rod spun bearing on cylinder 2 I was told.

 

Block is finished. Just got to finish up the head and then ship it back!

 

Badass man. That was quick. They must keep their custom pistons on the shelf.

 

What they explained to me is that they now use manley pistons. He said they the specs on them are now equivalent to the JE custom pistons they used in the past - but are available “off the shelf”. At least if I understood correctly that is.

 

Motor is here. Purchasing the Inline racing (huy Tran) modified oil pan / pickup. That’s all we’re waiting on then it is tune time!

couple other goodies I purchased since rebuild: - boosted fab lightweight crossmember
- stm front drag brake kit
- stm race oil cooler
- 3.5” ets exhaust
- new aem x series -30-60psi boost gauge
- new 15” wheel setup

 

I can't believe how quick that was. Lucky you!

 

haha they knocked out 3 motors for my tuner’s shop in that time span

 

UhOh he’s got the block o-ringed, this means only one thing...BIG POWER!
How much did they charge for the o-ring job? Is it a double groove o-ring setup with receiver groove?
Whats your HP goal?
