Lmao.bdbf

Instead of you guys flapping your keyboard mouths, how's about Joe post some pics! I wanna see this badboy stroker! :metal:

of what? its a 3.85 stroke, stock rods and 1.600 piston! comes to a 388.

it dont look we are flapping!!! and i dont care who cracks on my shit or what i do! its mine!!!and i feel if you dont have something good to say or good info dont post!

Who's flapping?bdbf

By the way I was talking about a rivalry. Here at home not board members.but I see where you stand.and that's fine.

What are you talking about Clyde?

I've seen a few shots of a piston, an intake manifold, a dial indicator, etc.. keep 'em coming Joe!

i have not posted pic of my intake yet! i will get pics when i start putting it together.

it was 315 dollars when i dropped the block off today:banghead: now i like push rods,gaskets, and oil pump to complete the motor. still trying to decide on standard pump or high volume.

Did you find out if your rods were going to hit the cam?

they clear:metal: when stuff gets close like that it scares me.

Standard volume pump.

X2 on pump

you guys have to think this is my 1st real motor build. i built my 4 banger years ago and it turned out ok but would have came apart if i would have ran it much longer. because the machine shop did not balance it and i did not know.and i have rebuilt a few chevys.:jester: but never have had this much just in a short block!!! i have read so much on this setup for the past 3 months i am about sick of it! but i have learned alot of good info and will share what i have learned with anyone. what is that saying 2 heads are smarter than 1! :nixon:

Good deal! :metal:

i seen the top of the rod bolt and some of the rod come up past the cam bearing and freaked:panic: i bet a 4 inch or 4.1 stroke is close!

I bet :jester:
I know a 4 is close, watched a friend assemble his. Another guy around here is running a 4.1 but it was done before I got to see it and I think he is running a small base circle cam.

Very close:banana:

X3. No need for a high volume unless you're running an oil cooler, turbo, etc, that needs it, otherwise you'll just create drag and windage. Take a standard volume pump, disassemble it all the way (including the freeze plug that holds the pressure spring in), clean up all the casting flash with a Dremel, or die grinder, and chamfer all the ports. When you put it back together, stack two 3/8" washers as shims in the freeze plug for the spring. That should give you about 80 psi oil pressure cold, and about that at cruising speed at operating temp.

How long before updated pics of homebrew. Lmao!

Here ya go!

I don't know what to make of the thread
