I would love to go and have twice but alas I am a bit of a drive away now, oh well
|
Sorry, no go. Not able to drive. Got waaaay too much to do around the house anyway. But I'll be with you in spirit. We hear the roar from our house all the time. Oh, and I'll be listening for you, first your car, then you celebrating.
|
^^^great call
|

yup lol.i did get my titanium valves (sb2 chevy nascar 358cid valves)off to the machine shop for some mods so they will work in the v6 head.they need to be cut from 2.17" down to 1.90" and shotened with a new hardened tip and new lock groove machined in.:chacha:gonna be the only set of ti valves for the 4.0 in existance.talk about a weight difference!almost one pound of weight difference in a full set of intakes and exhaust.
that's alot for fast moving parts. |
I do hear that every lb saved is a wee bit of time off the 1/4 time.
|
weight off the valvetrain means alot more than that .it makes the engine alot more durable with lighter parts on the inside.it will allow the engine to rev alot faster and make power sooner.
|
rods are coming home today!oh boy oh boy oh boy!
|
Easy gary down boy down boy.
|
rods are home and i fit them to the pistons with ease.full floating pins are nice to work with.no more buying till after the holidays.well unless there is a great deal on something i need,lol.

that's some nice looking stuff you have there
|
spoke to moldex cranks today and they can make me a billet crank for $2750.00.now to find out if the block will hold.lol
|
wow what will that do for your hp number?
|
It is more for durability than making horse power. Gary will be testing the limits of the 4.0 with the boost/hp that he hopes to run, and a stronger crank will help keep all those nice parts inside the engine.
