Hope you are ready to spend some $$$. **** gets expensive fast at the 1k mark

 

Haha ive got a set of PRC 260cc 6 bolt heads.... They're rectangular port, may put them to use one day if I have a problem with the heads staying put!
***** already gotten expensive! Lol but really I've made a few good trades with some solid PT members that really helped me put this build in motion!

 

Any input on some good bearings is appreciated! I know I'm gonna use a tri-metal bearing.. Maybe even coated? Also some good info on a decent bearing clearance to run on the mains and rods?

Also ring gap? And keep in mind I drive this truck a lot! First thing I'm doing when I get it swapped in is heading to Lubbock for a tune and then to Birmingham

 

Are you going to be assembling the shortblock? If you aren't set on it, I would recommend a shop do it for you. Making an engine live at 1000hp is a little harder than at the typical 400-500hp level, especially if you want a lot of life out of it. LME does great work around there, not sure if spike (since I know you are a fan) does in-house engine work.

Every builder seems to have their preference in bearings and rings. Its more about the prep and installation than the brand.

What brings you to bham?

 

Toss on some out of box TFS220s and a JFR cam..my truck lights this 96mm turbine and 1.32 fast....with trailer it was full boost at 2200


Youll be happy not having those lazy sqaure ports on a heavy vehicle

 

Just don't use callies comp star offshore rods also buy kateck billet main caps...my callies rods twisted and broke all my main caps on even side at 900HP ,370 with 20lbs of boost. The motor was 5weeks old.

 

Callies compstar are best chinese H beam out there...ppl have made 1400 rwhp with them

 

Yeah... I'm gonna do it myself. I sure would be mad if I didn't and something happened to it! I may call LME and see what they have to say though!... im in Birmingham a bunch! My smokin hot girl lives there!

 

This is what numerous people have suggested! And I'm deffinatly staying cathedral port!
Ive actually already ordered the rods and Pistons.. Went with diamond Pistons with steel rings and some Texas speed super I-beam rods.. They said those rods will be more than good in the 1000-1500 range

 

This is awesome, Can't wait to see the outcome.
