Official boss block build

[Dillon Dollar]

Okay the motor is coming out of Medussa next week and im replacing it with a frpp boss block

Bought the block last week from AM
Eagle stroker crank and rods
Diamond pistons 10-5 compression
Stainless steel rings
Arp 200 rod bolts
Stock valves
BBR stg 2 cams and heads


Paxton 2200 8 rib 2.85 pulley 10% od pulley @7000 rpm
Jpc return system on E85


I still need to buy billet oil pump gears, trick flow springs, and all the bearings

Some questions I have can I reuse my arp head stud kit that is on the current block?

And besides the special motor mounts is there anything else I will need? ?



I will update with pictures as the build progresses

Re using your headstuds will be fine since they aren't TTY.

Good I was under the impression the boss block needed a special style of head studs.

That saves me 400 lol

You will need to plug one hole in the 3v timing cover and build up a little bit of material on the block. If you don't oil will weep out to the vee, make it's way to the oil pan filter, and travel back to the rear of the motor/front of bellhousing leaving a drip about once every 4 times you pull into the garage.

I've made a thread on it in the past.

^Who did you get them from? I just ordered some from MMR. They were cheaper buying from them on ebay then through their website.

I bought tsw gears they were pricey but everyone tells me to steer clear of mmr

Hey Dillon - if your car is named after the Greek snake-headed chick, it's spelled Medusa.

 

[Dillon Dollar]
