Sneak Peek!

[Turbo Performance]

Is this the same block that Wade designed and built from scratch all by himself and is using in his Prostock car?

Fixed a couple minor details for you. :angel:

:rofl:

Not sure Ken, but I would imagine its one of the four that were made. Guy bought two, and planned on using one in his PSK truck.

 

[JoshH]

Not sure what your getting at? I think the block alone is quite the change from stock. Guess it could be considered a dyslexic combo?

I think he just means that stock is alum pistons in iron block, the ol' switcheroo :woott:

Yeah, that's what I was getting at. Should be pretty interesting to see how it does.

monotherms:thumb::thumb::thumb: I cant wait to see how monotherms hold up and also how these new Wade Blocks hold up as well. Maybe a solution to brjen cranks

 

[dmaxfireman]

I highly doubt that an aluminum block is the solution for broken cranks..... aluminum will flex more than cast iron. Unless an aluminum block is for pure weight savings I do not see the point.

If you sling a rod through the side of a block aluminum can be repaired.

I would think you could get MANY stock blocks for the price of 1 aluminum block, no?

I got tired of looking at iron blocks, too many laying around in the shop

Yep your probably right i am just wondering if they strengthened the block in the areas where the cranks usually break? If thats possible?

 

[TeaBagger2006]

Are you using alluminum rods?

 

[RPM Motorsports]

Nope, already have Carrillos. Had enough fun/bs with aluminum rods years ago..

 

[Slammed2007Lbz]

What is the weight difference?

 

[dmaxfireman]

you can weld cast iron with nickle rod...

 

[Kappa9012]

you can also stitch iron blocks back together as well...

 

[RPM Motorsports]

What is the weight difference?

Around 120lbs. From a cast/filled block.

 

[RPM Motorsports]

What pistons are you going to be using? What about the rest of the build?

Monotherms are not going to happen at this bore, per Guy today.. Looks like a set of 4.200" Arias pistons are on order.
