Aight.. So I just did something stupid and bought a motor for my car instead of building my own.. But I like the ability of this motor..
Motor Specs..
Block:
Crower Rods
Ross Pistons
Bored .020 over and honed with my personal torque plate
Balanced to 11.5k @ 1/4 gram
Piston to cylinder wall clearance is .0045
Ring gap, .021 for top and .024 for bottom
Balance shafts eliminated
OEM Oil pump/Case cover
OEM Water pump
ACL Race Main and Rod Bearings
Polished OEM crank, never turned/cut
All new frost plugs and painted high temp black
The block was built in mind of 45-47psi on a GT4202 with a 100 shot of nitrous.
Head:
Ported and polished 6 bolt head
Carbon removed
Boiled and Jet Washed
FP3x cams
Supertech Dual Valve Springs
All new OEM Valve seals
3g lifters
Stock polished valves.
Im suppose to get the motor on friday.. So I have some serious late nights and a lot of work ahead of me in the next couple of weeks.. I want to get the car ready for automotion weekend, which is may 16-18 weekend.(Big Car show).
Im gonna need a couple things then after that, brake work, minor paint touch up, swap things over from my GST.
So hopefully by the end of summer I will have this thing where I want it.
Im still looking for 400+ AWHP. Long term goal is to get over 500.. But that wont be for a few years.
Latest Picture of it. I rolled it out of the garage, so I could get everything cleaned and make room for this project
