Now I just need the block
What length rods? I used 6" on mine but it took a real creative piston design to get it in there with a 3.750 stroke and the small chamber on the SB2.2 to get the compression down to a reasonable level!
Yep Bill, same deal here. I have to run 6 inch rods because of the crank. I'd like to put aluminum rods in it but I'd like to know how much clearancing has to be done to the rod before I order them. I may just go with the Oliver Speedway's.
Have you got your cam yet? It's at least a 6 week wait for a custom billet grind. I could not get the cam I wanted out of an existing core.
I used aluminum rods (.300 thick at the top), but my pistons are kind of crazy looking, not conventional at all and I had to use buttons with SMALL pins!Did you get your pistons yet?Be sure to VERIFY the thickness at the center of the dish. I would not use less than .200 for the punishment you plan on putting it through and that is only if you are coating them! That is where I ran into problems but Arias got it right on the second 10. I have the cam. If I could only get a chassis to put it in......
Block and heads came in today . Heads are CNC ported Brodix Track 1 heads. Champion racing upgraded the exhaust valves to Ferrea super alloys.The also decked the heads and reassembled.
Where do you add the couple of bolts Bill?
Dusty,
Tried to take pics with the tape measure, they came out all funky. Here are the numbers :
16.0 in. hight(to the endges of the water outlets)
14.5 in. wide
8.75 in. thick
I dont know the size of the fittings but i measured inside the hole from thread to thread and its 1in. There are 2 ports on each end of the ic.
OK back on track ! Machine shop is finally done with all of the parts. They had to clearance the block quite a bit to get the Alum rods to clear. Got it home and Cal started putting it all together. Back on track again!
Oh please forgive the block color. i dont know what came over the machine shop. It will be all black by tommorow night !
Its Gray not Gay you chocolate pirate !
