Final word on the FRPP big bore block

[ChevyKiller]

Okay, sonic tests are done and it looks like a .020 over is about the most you can go so Adam just ordered my rotating assembly and I'm going a little under with a .015 over. We estimate I should be at about 342ci and that's about the safe limit for this block.

Can't wait to hit the tracks in this thing next month!!!!!!!!!

Cool, that is going to pump out some huge HP. Now all you need is a 3.4 liter Whipple and you will be the envy of all

Why didn't you just ask? I talked to the FRPP engineer at the PRI show and he told me that.

Final word... is this like one of those final word threads you see all the time where someone thinks it will be the last thread about the subject, or one of those final word declaration threads you used to do all the time then change your final word, or is it REALLY the final word?

 

[ChevyKiller]

Unfortunately, yes- .020 over is the biggest you can go uless you want to see the motor come apart. I'm going to be happy with 342ci...

 

[Ken3030]

I say go .020 over that should get you 345ci. And 345 is better than 342

 

[ChevyKiller]

342 is all I need to spank your ass and that's all the matters...

Maybe - especially since my uncle just told he's got an extra 570ci pro stock motor sitting in the shop...

Not so fast . I have my own secret weapon in the works.

 

[ChevyKiller]

Yeah, but I'll always be ONE STEP AHEAD...

As soon as I figure out how to use the 570ci motor I have access to...
