Got my truck back up and running with a Stock takeout engine from a junkyard back in it, I put the headers, up pipes, y-bridge, intercooler pipes, and fabricated a new intake and downpipe for the S300 was running with my twins.

The hood is painted for the pulling truck now and we are getting some of the pieces put back on it. Going to start measuring the engine parts that arrived yesterday some time next week, and hopefully start assembling the short block the end of next week, or next weekend.

Go the new intakes for the pulling truck painted too!

No just a misinformed statement on my part:eek: They are arias pistons. And yes the heads have receiver grooves cut in them.

I would like to go to a filled block and fire rings for next year.... I want to see if someone figures something out with the blocks, I would love to bolt some big twins or triples on...:D:D Tripples would be harder to make room for, but I already have 2 S400's that could move 200 lbs/min together as atmosphere chargers... And it would be fun as hell!!! But, I have already somewhat seen the faults of the bottom end.

Crazy ideas I have in my head that will probably never happen...

Right now we are using Monotherm Mahle pistons for the new final Tier 4 13.5L John Deere test engines, they look kind of odd, and are pretty heavy... But kind of cool at the same time.

This block is a partial fill to the bottom of the freeze plugs. I have seen the monotherms at work in a few of the CAT motors. They are definately odd looking. Is Deere going with DPF and NOX filters or urea injection? We just had a big meeting at work about the new Tier 4 construction equipment that is headed our way for some of our big customers to field test.
