Doesn't sound safe enough if you've popped 2 of them... IMO

 

i know but planning on a stroker now

 

you needs some meth

 

lol im drug free man lol JK yeah its something im looking at to do also wanna do things alil better this time

 

Oh believe me, you will be a lot more careful with the 3rd engine

 

i hate myself sometimes but i REALLY have to do a real good build kinda leaning for the 402 or a 414

 

Kinda sounds like a simple choice between spending a lot of money on a durable rebuild that will hold up to the hair drier - or spending a lot of money on repeatedly rebuilding stock motors that are over-stressed by the hair drier.

I say stroke it and build it like a bank vault.

 

To elaborate: there's a good reason that the Lingenfelter 427 supercharger package costs $50K, and that they they can give a 3 yr / 36K mile warranty on a 750 hp motor. Some of their parts list:

- 4340 billet steel connecting rods
- 4340 forged steel crankshaft
- JE Forged aluminum pistons
- Tool steel pins
- Heavy duty inconnel exhaust valves
- Competition Cams dual valve springs
- Titanium spring retainers
- Forged steel crankshaft
- File fit rings, heavy duty rod & main bearings, head gaskets, head bolts

Somebody with tools and skills, or a good shop without the "big name," could do it for a lot less than $50K I'm sure, but still ... maintaining that kind of power just ain't gonna be cheap. IMHO

 

There is a guy i know who can get fully forged/ARP main studded 408 shortblock for a real decent price.

 

ttsita!
