Thanks I'll do some research, and looking into them.

Builds with stock Manley rods?
- Thread starter Shamwoww88
- Start date
I built mine to handle 4 digit power. I did everything within reason to my engine. Cost me over 12k and I assembled it and set my cam timing myself.
Brand new Kellogg crank, balanced ect.
0.020" over, -5.22 dish custom diamond pistons, valve reliefs, with hardcoat anodized tops with moly skirts, h13 pins. Stock rods, calico coated main and rod bearings (about 10.3 CR),
Diamond steel rings,
arp 2000 everything... rod, main, side, head studs.
Ford Racing timing kit,
Ford Racing oil pump with boundary billet gears,
custom bullit cams,
MHS stage 2 springs, seals, Ford lash adjusters, cloyes cam gears, trick flow crank gears,
Cometic head gaskets 0.040",
Went with Ford gaskets on everything else. Changed over all the coolant lines to AN, MM oil filter relocation, also converted to AN lines.
Some will argue with my part choice but I am happy with it and picked everything myself.

I’m just about to pull the trigger on the plans for building my motor with the shop. This is a great thread for information.

Stock crank is built by Kellogg. They don't make them anymore so they are hard to come by. I didn't want a stroker crank or a Chinese forged one.
My stock crank was bent. The thrust surface was trashed. Pretty sure it happened putting it in the wrong gear at the track. Tore up the bearings. That was the reason for the build.
The $ shift
Damn.... the money shift.
Hahaha Yea, an expensive shift to say the least. All good now.
Now I need bigger injectors and add some more boost.
That's probably gonna be pretty close to what I settle on. I want it to make 4 digit power for the track, and still be manageable/ driveable down tuned on the street. I've missed car shows and meets going to sea and being up north so I want to take advantage of the times I can go, and I love my termi so why not make it everything I want lol. How much boost do you plan on running anyway?
How much power were you making when it let go? Any more details on your setup when it broke?

Just a twin turbo car with a turbo 400. Broke on the street at tx2k16. Was making probably 950 this night
Damn... Piston wasn't swelling in the bore was it? Takes a set of balls to break it like that.
No, was a brand new engine, maybe 400 miles. Bearings looked perfect, didn't detonate, just snapped in half.
My suggestion to anyone building a new engine and wanting to make 4 digit power, sell your stock rods and get the Molnar's. You'll be out about $250 for the upgrade after the sale of your stockers. It's a no brainer upgrade.
Damn! That’s some impressive carnage. So safe to say it was around 1100+ at the crank being at 950rwhp?
