As some of you know I broke my crank this past fall. Chris at Roderiqes ATV in Westport, MA built the motor based on my previous power goals of 800ish(which I far exceeded for close to 2 years). Surprisingly the delipped LLY pistons came out looking flawless and fortunately all 8 rods are in perfect shape. The heads were also in perfect shape. The block has a couple of very small nicks which we believe happened due to a turbo that I exploded last year so it will be bored .020 over just to make sure it is perfect. The last build was based on a lower hp goal and a lower budget but this time, I am going to have the motor built to take anything I can throw at it.
Parts List:
Carrillo Rods
Fingers cast oval .020 over 16:1 with reliefs
New LB7 Crank
Socal billet mains
Girdle
Socal 6480AF cam
Socal beehives and retainers
Socal pushrods
Rocker studs
Socal injector hold downs
Ported heads
Socal Flywheel
ATI super damper
Chris will be doing all of the work in house aside from line honing the mains and I believe the machine shop will be taking care of the cylinder boring. They will also be handling the balancing. Based on how smooth my last motor ran and how well it held up to the power I can't wait to get this thing assembled and in the truck. I figure if my truck went 10.5 with stock pushrods and cam with a mild hand port job, it should really make some steam once we get the top end flowing some more air.
Feel free to make any suggestions and I will try and keep this updated as progress is made. My favorite thing about this forum lately has been looking back through old threads and seeing the progress everyone has made. I also have a terrible memory so this will help me remember what I have done to the truck lol.
