The rotating assymbly is on its way for the most part. I still have to save up for a few more smaller items, ie, balancer and rings.

The Block ran me about 1800 shipped. When Brian Said that there was going to be a 5-10% increase in the price i used it as an excuse to finally get one. Now they are 1899...

Its getting stroked for sure.

My car currently gets 21.5 mpg on the interstate but like 10 in town.

I have been talking to Brian Adams (ADperformance) about the rotating assymbly and he confenced me to go with forged eagle products. Said he would be surprised if i could break them.

My pistons should be done in the next couple weeks.
 
I was going to wait to tell you guys what the combo is. The block is a large bore (4.125) 351W with cleveland mains. The crank is a 4.00 stroke crank (same as a 408 crank). But with the larger bore it puts it at 427.69 C.I.

The custom pistons that are on order are 8.5:1 compression. The very last upgrade (after I sell my current motor) is......



YSI TRIM... :hail2: :banana:
Turbo isn't completely out of the question but i have the brackets already for the YSI and its not as messy and still MAKES HUGE POWER...

SO A LOW COMPRESSION 427 or if you Perfer 428 with 20 lbs or so of boost. Thats my plan anyway.

The shortblock should hold between 1000-1200 horsepower fairly easily. (not saying i will make that but im hoping... hehehe...) And Im going hydrolic roller setup to see if i can keep it streetable. Plan taking it up to between 6500-6800 rpms.

IF i don't make it that way then i might spend another 170 bucks and see if a water/methenal injections kit will do it (IE... snow, mr freeze, etc.)
