Is that your car that was posted on the 1320 Facebook page?

 

[JoshK]

The 1320video that was shared to the s197 fb page? Yes

My shortblock is pending sale right now, things may get interesting....

 

[roberts]

Interesting and expensive!?

 

[BruceH]

You should probably build a motor based on the GT500 5.8 modular motor. The block will cost more but everything else will be the same price. In fact the crank will be super cheap for the forged unit you want when compared to what a stroker crank is going for. It would be easier to bump the compression with a 5.8.

The Intake would be expensive too. I would love to see someone build a 5.8L 3V. It would be almost the same price to do 5.8L with navigator heads and coyote intake.

More info please Bruce

That would require a whole new timing set, timing cover, etc. Doesn't seem worth the trouble. Right now it is between stock stroke 4.6 again, big bore stock stroke, or big bore stroker.

Well that only leaves out stock bore stroker and a completely different base lol. I want to see the new boss block 5.3.

That's an easy choice, wich on will give you more CU?

 

[JoshK]

But the stroker cranks are hard to find and its hard to spend $1200 on a new stroker crank when a stock stroke can be had for less than half

 

[gray1622]

To bad you couldn't run a stock coyote crank. I wonder how much those bearing would cost to be made that lito used. If you found someone to make them I bet some people would buy some on the forum.

 

[JoshK]

Well gentlemen, I pulled the engine today and started disassembling it. I think it looks pretty good. There are some vertical markings in some of the cylinders, but not sure that that is an issue at all or not.

 

[JoshK]

Tomorrow I can finish tearing this down to the shortblock. Then I think I will tackle the ac delete. After that if I have any ambition left I can remove all the EVAP stuff. I also found a Kellogg 3.800 crank and Manley 5.850 rods that I am going to buy.

 

[BruceH]

The vertical marks are fairly normal. Provided they are visual only.

 

[JoshK]

You can not feel anything on the vertical markings.

 

[roberts]

How hard is tge evap delete and how much u lose from ot

 

[JoshK]

Evap delete is just an emissions thing iirc, the best part is all the crap you loose from under the hood as far as I'm comcerned

 

[JoshK]

Can anyone with a Boss block confirm that it also has these to threaded holes here next to where the oil filter block bolts on? I am going to use these holes to mount my ps pump lower.



Also, do the main bolt kits that come with the boss block, do they work with the stock windage tray? trying to figure out if I should remove my stock windage tray from my sb when I ship it. The guy is buying it with the Mcleod FW that is on it now so I will need to find a new rear seal plate for the boss plate. Any difference between years I should look out for getting a back plate?
