LMM: SoCal Motor on the way!

[WolfLMM]

As some of you know, I burned a hole in piston number 6 a month ago. Originally I was dead set on doing the work myself as well as most of the machine work (because I'm a perfectionist and have a hard time letting/trusting someone else, plus I wanted the experience and good feeling when it worked and performed well), but as it is now I'm working 60-70 hours a week making parts for our customers and just don't have the time or a machine open to do the work on. Being busy is a good thing though! So on to the motor specs.

16.5:1 Fingers cast oval bowl with 0.075 pockets
Carrillo rods
O-ringed block
14mm studs
Stage 1 heads
6480AF cam
Plus all the other little things oil/water/cooler/etc

Fuel is 12mm S&S pump
100% over lbz injectors

Air for now is 68mmstg2r and adding s485 5 blade in the near future.

Mark will be tuning both setups in person, for now the single, and later the compound setup.

Hope it lasts a little bit. I'll get to him before it goes though. Don't need my cooler plugged up with trash.

So I'll be the one to ask what's it going to cost?

I really want to build my own motor when the time comes. But being it's the first motor I would've rebuilt in the last 15 years I'm a little hesitant.

Mark won't install them iirc. What's the issue with them?

Limits your options if you have a problem that requires replacement along with the extra expense. They are not necessary if you have done the other helpful mods.

There also are more head casting failures associated with their use.

Very Nice!

I don't think you can go wrong with SoCal motor. They have proven themselves many times over the years.

Just a FYI here, the 14mm are cheaper than the 625s by a good bit, even factoring in machine work.
