It is good to see Russ is almost :anon: as meticulous as I used to be when rebuilding an automotive 350 block to change it from 260 +/- HP to 500 + hp to do amateur boat race.

You may not know this about Russ but 1500+ horsepower Chevy is his bread and butter. Strokers were a hobby that has become profit after the LS changed the hot rod scene.

As far as that bearing goes, it's just that one, and all 4.0's are apparently that way. Dunno why, but I asked about it too.

sweet. What displacement?

Loosley 4.7, 11.35:1 compression.


If you want exact numbers you need to wait until we're done measuring.

keep it coming. Should be a great engine!

That is what makes him a pro. I am just a novice who have a few dozen rebuilds mostly to original specs. Looking at a pro doing meticulous work remind me of my past.

Enough to break a D35 doing a burnout on gravel?

Oh wait, you only need like 10hp for that.

i would cry.

That'd be overkill. Doubt those accessories are using much more than 5-ish horsepower...

Overkill is the entire point.

I'd like to see mid 300's at the crank. It will never see an engine dyno, so we'll never know, but the jeep's got 30 or so pulls on the chassis dyno at aFe when they used it to build their XJ intake, so I'm hoping I can get them to do one more after tuning and see how much we gained.

Well Russ is like Allstate, "your in good hands"!

 

[TRCM]

ok....updates needed.......................

 

[cal]

I was preparing for and then at King of the Hammers supporting a couple of SFR sponsored teams. Got home late last night, will get back to this probably next weekend.

 

[TRCM]

HA HA...just cuz yer out having fun is no excuse.......

 

[cherokeecrawler]

Yea, we demand updates! Only 4.0 I know of that'll probably make over 300 N/A..

 

[cal]

Lol. The last few have probably been well over that. 4643 was 12:1 on an iron head.
