Cheaper than a built motor for that goal.And your better of going with an FG manifold rather than some overpriced polished plenum.

Comes with all the good stuff. FG inlet manifold and fuel rail is good to like fkn 700kw lol.Joe from cms said just the other day that he's seen 500rwkw on a stock fg bottom end.... Save your money for a gearbox, your going to need it..People are probably gonna flame me for this, going away from trends, you know a t700 or 4l80e can be built to handle over 1000nm these days, soooo many good parts avalible. 4 gears and a lockup converter...500rwkw gearbox doesn't really mean sh*t, who was that quote from, gearbox's are generally rated by input torque, how quickly that torque multiplies is what breaks em...

Please explain?The studs/bolts go just around the cylinder walls. When heads on and torqued the walls of the cylinders flex considerably. A standard bore/hone is done without a plate torqued replicating the head. Iv worked at a machine shop and its really how fussy you are at the end of the day. The result is well worth the effort.

Grego.77 Member 195 Member For: 10y 1m 15d Gender: Male Location: St Clair NSW Posted 10/03/15 02:36 AM Share Posted 10/03/15 02:36 AM I forgot to mention the file back is needed because you can really close up the size of the hone to piston clearance making a better seal you also can use a very fine hone stone. Problem is sometimes depending on piston and ring brands the rings end up being too tight. So each ring needs to be inserted measured and filled back. I own a 1973 Skicraft boat with a 1973 350 sbc which has had a very hard life. I pulled it down 2 weeks ago and its still got stock pistons in it a huge ridge and still has hone marks in the bore. Where the cylinder head studs are besides the bore its glazed/shinny/smooth. So 40yrs on and singing at 5200rpm most of its life its half run in and the rest is worn out. Hope this makes sense. And yes the engine had blow-by. There are many other factors when building ford chev engines which are time consuming because there so roughly built from factory such as checking sump to oil pick up clearances checking all oil galleries checking bolt stretch ensuring your torque wrench is accurate the list goes on and on. I think places like Brad at Atomic are offering for the amount of work that is done is very fair in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
