Well it's been what..just over a year since I blew up the stock block, and my forged piece is finally ready to ride. Just waiting for the head which I will be grabbing sometime next week. Figured i'd post a few pics before i get it up and running. Shooting for 450-500whp, and high 10's on some 26 inch slicks, built trans w/ lsd, and suspension. season is pretty much over here in the northeast, but it'll be done for spring easy





Pan extended 1" to accomdate the lower pickup of the 2.3 oiling system



2.3 oil swap

sick! cant wait for videos

 

sounds like a good plan

 

Glad to see that trash can finally coming together for you Pete. Let me know when you guys are going to build your new turbo set up. I'll take a ride down.

 

Looks beefy.

Are those pistons gas ported?

 

No ----, compared to even a sleeved B-series, that block looks like its ready to take some serious abuse. Closed deck ftw.

 

your gonna ---- that up also.

 

how reliable/strong is this, really?

 

With Quads, the head is usually the first to give. BTW, 086?
