whats it for?

 

Well, the next time you get bored, build me an iron block 346 for boost will ya? Looks nice man

 

i recently put this 408 together. it started out life as a 03 SSS Lq9. i ran the motor for about 8500 miles with a torquer 2 cam and 11.1 cr. ran well for being hurt. i sold it to a good buddy of mine and we installed a Trex in it. car was a total beast but had a smoking issue. well finally i tore it down for him and found out 1 piston was melted and most of the cylinder walls were scored. in this condition and a car with driver that weight in around 3900lbs went 11.8 back in april with temps in the mid 80s that day.

now here what it is now
its a fully forged Eagle stroker with diamond pistons. the SCR of this motor is 11.5. it has stage 2 livernois LS6 heads on it, LS7 lifters, PRC dual springs, Thunder racing Trex cam [ 242/248 608/612 110 lsa ] Ls6 intake for now, ported Tb, 160 stat, SLP 25% underdrive pulley, all ARP hardware including crank bolt. it will be going in a 2002 black camaro SS backing this up is a T56 with a moser 12 bolt with 456 gears. exhaust consist of pacesetter 1 3/4 Lts ORY into SLP loudmouth for now. over winter setup will be true duals with an X and fast 90/90. SVO 42s sit inside the fuel rail. Comp cams 7.4 hardend pushrods, Rollmaster double roller TC, ported 6.0/LS6 oil pumpall assembly was done by myself.it also has spohn solid motor mounts and a poly trans mount along with full suspension on the camaro. car is a full leather SS with AC and everything
block is red, valve covers are red and the heads i did a slight polish on them to help with shine, i also painted and cleard the LS6 intake, im going to make this motor full SD same as my 408 is. going to use a 85mm lid and try and fab up a 4" tubing for the air intake setup...

 

i usually spend a fair amount of money because of boredom...but goddam son

 

ok that makes more sense

 

Thats pritty bad *** I wish I had the knowledge to put a 408 together in my spare time in my garage.

 

Looking good, stepping to the 90/90 and stepped 2" header will help that baby breathe. Was it stock bore when piston melted? Keeping it n/a?

 

Anyone else notice the hottie by the jeep

 

yea stock bore when the piston went bad. the shop said it really didnt need .030 over but went there anyway to make it a 370 then owner decided to go stroked
