I just may be if this block checks out OK at the machine shop this weekend. I'll let you know.
I have a Trick Flow R lower for a 351 for sale.............let me know if your interested.
I was talking about LQ4's and LQ9's, i agree that displacement has something to do with the torque, and i think that its a completely relevant point considering that we are talking about 351ci motors, only 13ci less. Most of the SBF crowd is scared to use a 245cc intake port on a 400+ inch motor. LS motors come from the factory with larger cylinder heads, and short runners, and make plenty of power/tq to move a 8500lb truck that can tow another 10,000 lbs. If these big headed motors didnt make torque, this wouldnt be possible

408 or GTFO!
or a turbo 351 would be cool I guess too lol.
Start looking for a tremec for 1000-1300, then once you buy that, you could sell the t-5 for about 5-700, cause your motor now makes enough power to make the t-5 say uncle.
Oh yea, and it pretty much already has. It had an unexplainable gear whine in 1st and 2nd, so I pulled it apart, inspected it, put new bearings and a few other small parts in it, and now it's back together and still has a whine, haha. I dunno if it's just as simple as gear wear or if the input shaft is bent or what. None of the teeth were visibly damaged.
LOL! JUST yesterday at 6:45 PM I tightened the last bolt on my T5 rebuild project and drove the car for the first time in months. I don't wanna see the inside of a T5 again any time soon, so I'm a little uncomfortable with the idea of 500 ft-lbs, haha! I mean I WOULD love to have a 6.7 liter beater, but at the same time I KNOW my transmission is not up to the task.
But maybe I fall into a used TKO or a T56 this summer...? I guess we'll see where life takes me.
BTW, I dropped the block off at the machine shop to get cleaned and mag'ed Saturday, so I should know if this engine is a go or not here in the next day or so.
I know where a real viper trans is. Ill try and steal it for ya next time i'm over there lol.
Nic I have some 351W stuff taking up space on my shelf Id let go discounted if you decide to do anything. I have some dished 1.60" height pistons (302ci or 393ci) and some 1.28" (408ci), hell I even have a fully machined 74 351W block.
