Forged 370 coming together.
 

Just wanted to post up a few pics of my build. Seems like there are a few of us building 370's on here so I'd thought I'd join the crowd and post up. Still have a few loose ends to tie up but it's coming together. It's getting there thanks to the help of a few people you might recognize from Grippy's build-up. Same master builder(Rex), same shop(WCCH), same mad scientist who put it together (Richard who stays behind the scenes) and similar pictures.

It's more of a sponsor build than anything:):
WCCH 245cc Edelbrock Heads
FLT 4L80E LVL-5
STS GT-76
ABEAR Motorsports VC's
StylinConcept's BP's

My Rods are on the far right. Left is stock(bent) Middle is Probe 4340 forged I-beams(Same as Grippy's). I'm gonna need a little extra beef for what I have planned.

It's giving me blueballz just looking at it.:nutkick: Still have a few things to finish up.

Lookin good. :judge:

Cam?

looking good im anxious to see you get it in there

you using stock crank ?

and what final compression will you have

you runnin high boost or moderate boost + spray

glad to see you have Rex building your engine, he is Awesome! His knowledge and attention to detail is second to none!
I see he bought a new T-Shirt as well, LOL, good on ya Rex!

Did you go with the Ackerly & Childs Rings spec'd by Rex? Melling Oil Pump with the "bad ass" spring in there?

Looks purdy so far! Any man who builds engines while drinking Mt. Dew is a pro :judge: :chug:

Hey Dude!
 

I had that shirt but thought that it was good to wear second time around! :judge: And yes it has all the good stuff.

Good deal bro, I expect no less than the best from you! How's your Monster Truck motor coming along?
Unfortunately I'll be out to Sea again next week :bang: when it rains it pours :chug:

224/230 .050" of valve lift on each. I'll get all the specs out soon. Rex and I were going over it but I didn't grab the sheet he gave me.

you sure thats not the duration:judge:

Richard (aka the Brains) and Rex said the stock crank will hold up fine so we stayed with it.
Final compression is 8.8:1
I'm gonna be running a high boost appplication. I'm shooting for 20lbs-22lbs. I have to play around with my A/R housing first to see what works best. I have a pretty small one in there now.
