FOR SALE

11:1 Stock Crank Built Shortblock

 

[Mike K]

You son of a bitch! I thought you were just thinking about it.

 

[warpig12354]

What are you doing instead?

 

[JoshK]

For the money I was going to spend on the airlift kit, along with some recouped money from this shortblock, I ought to be able to build quite an engine. It wont happen unless someone buys this one first though, and that may take the stars alinging. In case anyoe is wondering, this engine literally has 750 miles on it. You would be getting a new engine with the break in done for you.

Nothing will be done unless some money comes up for this engine though.

Not a 5.8, but the compression will be higher

higher than 11:1?

 

[JoshK]

Yes sir, you should buy this engine and then all the bs research would be done for you.

 

[W3bb3r04]

11:1 is high for me since I want to run pump gas! Other wise Id be on it!

 

[JoshK]

Just run less boost and make the same power. Bruce ran up to 15lbs on his 11:1 engine on pump IIRC.

 

[NotQuik]

Going to stick with the same turbo on your next build?

 

[JoshK]

^^There is no next build unless this engine sells, which I won't be heartbroken if it doesn't. It is brand new and it is basically just my always wanting more power even if I don't need it that has me wanting to build another one.


Good news is that my Liberty Built 6060 Package should be here by the end of next week. I will be ordering my BMR K-Member Tuesday or Wednesday. Then I will just have to pick up an RST and I can start assembling again. BMR A-arms and turbo piping is just sitting here collecting dust right now.

You just want to put together another motor. Am I right? It's fun, I get it. Your current power level is already too much for the street. I'd bet you wouldn't notice much difference with a Big Bore except for your wallet being lighter, lol.

 

[JoshK]

^^Its is a lot of fun to build these engines. Especially once you start getting your hands dirty and get past being worried about it. The truth is if I build another one and really want to utilize the stronger engine I am going to need a return fuel system, larger turbo, etc etc. It will really pile on, so like I said, I wont be heartbroken if this one doesnt sell. So yes, definetly a lighter wallet, lol.

Just a heads up, i sold my block today. You should do a big cube build like bruce...Or build a 5.4
