Just not a fan of those heavy H beam rods apart from that looks the goods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_davies_28 Member 14 Member For: 12y 3m 22d Posted 14/01/13 12:09 AM Share Posted 14/01/13 12:09 AM Sounds like you've already convinced yourself that atomic is the way to go and nothing that anyone says will change your mind.Seems to me like the thread is a waste of time.I wouldnt say a waste of time mate just if im going to spend upwards of 20k I like to get as many facts as I can about the productout of this thread and another member I have found im going to need 14mm head studs a 360 degree thrust bearing on the crankshaft I may have troubles with the atomic flexplate if I decide to use it so from all this I have learned a lot which I didnt previously know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stee3 Member 194 Member For: 13y 2m 26d Posted 14/01/13 12:58 AM Share Posted 14/01/13 12:58 AM I did it in mine you have to buy 2 sets of main bearings, like you said the sets only come in 180deg thrusts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbotrana Member 2,586 Member For: 21y 5m 21d Gender: Male Posted 14/01/13 05:09 AM Share Posted 14/01/13 05:09 AM So who recommended a full grooved shell on the main cap. I don't see it a problem as I never see mains with much wear but still would like to examine a hard worked engine with this setup.I would also like to see the bigend bearing that this main supplies oil to after alot of hard work.

TXR05 Member 181 Member For: 13y 3m 6d Gender: Male Location: Brisbane QLD Posted 04/02/13 10:41 AM Share Posted 04/02/13 10:41 AM Buy 3 FPV f6 engines, spend the remained of the money working all 3 all the same. Push for 500RWKW on each engine. When one blows, you got 2 others for spare? I was just going to buy an FG xr6 turbo engine and manifold, put all my gear on it, and go for 16PSI and hoping for like 380 - 420 RWKW.. I Might be a bit optimistic there lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DLM Dragons Lair Motorsport Member 29 Member For: 13y 1m 8d Gender: Male Posted 15/02/13 12:55 AM Share Posted 15/02/13 12:55 AM Interesting read! Just to clear a few things up, DLM-Spec motors are built by DLM & NOT Atomic anymore, we may from time to time use minimal Atomic gear in our motors eg. Vernier Gears etc... We did go through a period that Atomic was building our DLM Motors to our specifications, however this relationship has ended for various reasons that I will not discuss on the forum! We utilize our own rods and pistons with custom one off specs if we have to to achieve our goals, we have the most advanced cylinder head program in Australia and on our barra motors as a whole, our cylinder head program is fully digitized and custom tailored to our needs for each specific motor that we produce! We have not had one failure since we started doing the work our selves and it is important to note that we have the most powerful 6 cylinder Ford motor on the planet by far!! Our combination is also the fastest 1/4 mile car in the country built to our specs and utilizing our external power adders in combination form to achieve these results, this is a clear indicator that we do not require anyone apart from our known associates to achieve these results. The results gentleman do speak for themselves, and you will not find Atomic mentioned on our website for quite some time now!CheersDLM 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
