Due to the fact the other thread I started was jacked due to server issues, I finally have time to post the specs of the new build that I am undertaking.
Having come from a 10:1 compression aluminator longblock, I decided I want (not need) more. Sold the aluminator shortblock, kept the heads, and have decided to go with a Boss 5.0 block and some big power!
I have officially turned John Tymensky of Modular Performance on to do this dream build for me. I contemplated doing it myself, however, I wanted his expertise and the little "odds and ends" tricks he performs. Each engine he builds is custom. Made to meet my specs and vehicle application. Engine build will start after June 20th, so there is no instant gratification in this thread. Merely another topic for all of you to follow along, and learn a little something more (at my expense :beer
Details of my dream engine build: This engine will have my 2.9 Whipple on top
- Boss 5.0 Iron Modular Block
- Stock Stroke Cobra Crank (Kellogg)
- 10.7:1 compression, Diamond flat top pistons with valve reliefs
- Oliver I-Beam Rods, H13 .200" wrist pins
- Stage 2 port from Modular Head shop
- Custom MP cams John designs for my specific application
: Peak power @ 6800 rpms, with intended shift points @ 7100 rpms
: Cams degreed by John
- ARP everything
: Head studs, Side bolts, main cap, and rods
- Melling oil pump (billet gears)
- McLeod RXT twin disk clutch
- 1 3/4 LTs with 3" collector, 3" offroad X, into my current catback
: Most likely Kooks, but maybe ARH. Still deciding
: Will have LTs and offroad X ceramic coated locally (and polished)
- And a whole bunch of little odds and ends I will be doing while I wait for the engine to complete.
I want to throw a special thanks to E85, without you my Miracle Fuel, none of this would ever be possible :rockon:
Stayed tuned! Will post here regularly as build progresses. Should be another epic thread :beer:
