Can you build it like the motor that's gonna be in the GT350's? GT350 crank and all???

Removed the restriction in main oil feed that was rough cast and small
Cleaned up oil returns too
You can bore it to a 5.2L
You can get a stroker crank from Livernois also to make a 5.8L
These sleeves are .185" thick at std bore so you can safely go .080-.100" over stock bore and still run a power adder. You could go .120" over stock bore on a n/a combo safely too.
The material in these sleeves is super tough. My machinist said it is a billet quality material that was eating his cutters up when he was boring them. He wore out 4 cutters boring them.
Modified oil pump pickup standoff as per arp instructions
Oil return done
What are you using to clean up the oil returns and what not? I have been thinking of doing the same thing with mine as well but didn't know what to use and how to clean them out.
Is that with the Darton sleeves?
Why did you have to modify the oil pump pickup? Were you using ARP botls for the oil pan?
Looking sweet Rick!!! Thanks for documenting with pics!!! Amazing!!
I will definitely meet up with him at RPR when it's done!!
Is this car gonna play on the streets? It would be a money maker lol.
I used a carbide bit and a die grinder
The galley from the oil filter to the bearings is machined nicely from factory but they left the feed from pump to filter all rough and full of casting flash. I don't know what they were thinking. Priority oil feed restrictions are often overlooked by many builders unfortunately
Yes with Darton sleeves
It has to do with the threads of the stud that stick up past the nut where the oil pump spacer bolts down. It was specifically in the arp main stud instructions with the specs I posted.

Do you think a Dremel would have enough oomph to get the job?
All that work and money and a stock crank damper??
Yessir it doesn't drive anything other than the alternator and a/c. The engine is zero balanced so there are not many harmonics to worry about.
If it had a blower I would have gone a different route.
Only spinning it to 7,000 rpm too.
Harmonics is harmonics, doesn't matter how it's balanced. Not to mention a damper is NHRA required at a certain point. Your money, your car though.
