Mike 57 Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Finally got my short block complete. To see other pictures go here Engine build link Quote
Rob Peters Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Thanks for the pictures Mike, it looks great. I like the tapered ring compressor, it makes sense that it would be the best way to install the pistons. The hood looks fantastic too. Rob Quote
Patrick Sheean Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Very nice Mike, thanks for the pics too. Quote
MCfan Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Awesome! Looks like the product of mixing equal parts of technology, artistry and knowhow. If envy is a sin ... I need a lot of forgiveness!! Quote
Murphy Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 That's really NICE Mike, which block are you using 509 or 511? What's the bore? That's on my wish list, building a sbc400..... Quote
dbreese Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Looks great Mike! Whose belt drive are you using? That is a slick setup!! Keep posting updates with pics. David Quote
footballubet Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 Looking good! Someone was busy this weekend. Quote
72 LS5 Posted March 31, 2014 Posted March 31, 2014 That is sweet! From the pix, it looks like you are doing a little more than lining up the dots on the sprockets! Remind me.....555 inches? Quote
Mike 57 Posted April 1, 2014 Author Posted April 1, 2014 It is a gen 6 bowtie block. Bore is 4.56 stroke is 4.25, 555 CID. Jesel belt drive. Cam timing is exact! Quote
Murphy Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 That's an awesome motor, Mike! Sorry for my mis-ID in the earlier post. I read 'short block' but my brain said 'small block'......... Quote
Sam (Bones) Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 that is one nice piece! I take it you want to see 9's Quote
