BBB Big Bore Boss 322
SOLD
For Sale: $3000 picked up.
This 285 cubic inch motor is built with a 1L series of WAP aluminum block from a 2004 Mach 1. Calculated compression is 11.27:1
It's bored .030" over and has flat top Mahle 4032 pistons with a 1cc exhaust valve relief. The pistons are side coated and hard anodized.
The connecting rods are h beam 4340 steel with arp2000 rod bolts.
Stock crankshaft. Stock cams. Stock new style heads with little use. Includes vct housings and solenoids. The valve train components are new. This includes the lifters, rockers, phasers, timing chains, tensioners, gear, trigger wheel, and guides.
Stock oil pump, pickup, windage tray, stock tty hardware, new early model oil pan with bung on the passenger side.
The short block came from my old motor. It has 25,000 miles on it and ran fantastic when it was pulled. It has seen as much as 699rwhp uncorrected. The stock heads were purchased as having a few thousand miles on them and they look very good. The surfaces were straight edge checked prior to assembly. The FRPP 3v head changing kit was used to fasten the heads.
Also included is the front cover, stock balancer, a Stewart high flow water pump, rear cover, and stock oil filter adapter.
Things that need to be mentioned:
The crankshaft snout is rethreaded with an insert. The current balancer bolt is a grade 8 7/16-14 torqued to 52 ft lbs. It has been installed with blue Loctite. I've never had an issue with it and have had a number of balancers on and off since the insert was installed.
Some of the sealing surfaces common to the block were cleaned with a power tool by the idiot I bought it from on ebay. This required decking the block. The oil pan and front cover area were also cleaned with a power tool so I've used a thin layer of rtv on these surfaces "just in case". The motor didn't leak when it was pulled and I had used rtv during the previous assembly.

New pistons installed:
Edit: More pics.
This is how they looked after 25,000 miles. I cleaned one just to make sure the pitting was only in the carbon.
Notice the vertical marks. They weren't there during the last head swap. I'm guessing that 19psi was responsible. The motor still ran fine and didn't consume any oil. They only showed up in this pic. I had to get the right angle and lighting for them to show. It's something that any buyer would probably want to know. I know I would if I was buying it. They couldn't be felt.
All that would be needed for the buyer to swap over would be the sensors, valve covers, exhaust, water crossover, intake manifold, and flywheel/clutch assembly.
