It fits nicely under the air cleaner too. Going to set the quench at. The choice of the dual plane was two-fold, first being optimal torque output and the second being hood clearance. My last motor ran hard up until it went for 9 years. Available in pump or race gas compression for 340 and 360 blocks in bores ranging from 4. I hope to install the motor within the next 2 weeks. He bought this crank, rods, and pistons last year, when he was just going to do an E head flat tappet motor.
This particular crank has either a 2. Here, he's checking cap to crank journal clearance on the front main bearing cap with a dial bore gauge. The quench here is right on at 44 thou. Sure, we would all like a monster stroker engine combo filled with a catalog of aftermarket parts, but a sweet street cruiser with plenty of punch is as simple as building on what the factory delivered. Rather, the engine we had in mind would require some of the best aftermarket parts that the automotive industry could supply. The bottom end is all good stuff ; eagle rods, diamond gas ported blower slugs.
Logged -- 440 blocks vs 400 blocks? Besides eliminating the cost and time involved in rebuilding the factory heads, the Edelbrocks come equipped with a fresh set of high-performance springs with all new hardware, and larger-than-stock valves. The kit is completed with a competition internal balance. Thanks guys, heading for the machine shop. The long rod makes for a very light weight piston. For stock blocks this is the largest stroke that we build. A tried and true combination for the ages.
This is an overbore of 0. If Muscle Motors freshened them, they more than likely touched up the surface by milling anyway. Is this still the stock intake port size, or has the port size been made larger like a max wedge? As with all of our kits, they are all meticulously balanced on our computerized Hines crankshaft balancer. They help, but, the cap registers are still the only capture for lateral loads. If I did it again I wouldn't of used the cast crank on stroker 2. Don't know how well that will go over. Although not shown, we needed to mill quite a bit of external media off of the heads to accommodate the large diameter distributor.
Short of going with a megablock, this looks like the best option out there. It only takes only a minute to do so. Notice how that the K member has been notched and boxed for oil pan clearance. Putting it in an A-body might make the Low Deck a better choice. The K1 cranks do not require micro polishing to remove taper. They have run many of the extreme versions of these engines as well as mild. Cylinder fills quicker with shorter rod ratio as well.
Again forged dished pistons are standard. Camshaft is the Mopar Performance 0. Longevity is also a factor here too. . I dont plan on using the external oil setup. The trans has had some difficulties shifting from 2nd to 3rd in recent history.
The car does have power brakes so i know that does change the cam and converter selection but i still have no idea what i am looking for when it comes to the converter or why for that matter. Hey I am learning so please excuse me for all the questions. For those going to Carlisle, I will be there again. I am sure i have 100 more questions i just cant think of them right now. I will include a pic of the heads when I figure it out. We assembled the heads with 2.
You can also see the Mopar Performance electronic distributor. Going to set the quench at. Would I build another stoker? The key to get this 600 hp combo into the 10's is traction, which needs good tires and suspension. Just nervous with the overall length of the piston. Is there much to do to get the gear drives to fit. I would go no lower than 11:1.
If you have an 850 run it. The cost of this is about half the cost of the H-Beams, which are a little better and require less clearancing of the block. I was lucky enough to convince him that his 340 block was junk, and that he should at least get a good race block. This is the kit that started it all. Barton's son was doing the dyno and said the torque was fantastic and that number is what I should be looking at. I would like to thank everyone in advance for your input on this.
