well that's part of it figured out

 

haha good work, but no, i haven't ordered that yet... This is costing more than i planned.

 

hmmmm wonder why

 

me too I ain't saying nothing

 

lol its really nothin...

 

So my original project, which i have all he parts for, was going to be a custom fabricated fully adjustable 4link with airbags instead of leaf springs. the traction adjustability will amazing. I am using polyurethane bushings so there will be no noise, and no wear. I have started fabing the axle and frame brackets. these wont be like any kit you can just buy. I'm sure the ride of this suspension setup will be amazig too. This was going to take place, but something out of the blue came up and I pulled the engine out to rering it, as compression was weak i a couple cylinders. Im not surprised because its my daily driver, with lots of boost, and about 35k miles on it. So i bored i 20 over, went with 9.5/1 compression mahle pistons. I bought ported heads with stainless valves. I was running stock heads. I had the block and heads decked so they are perfectly flat, so that bumped my c/r up to roughly 9.8/1. I ported my lower intake as much as possible. the pictures do it no justice, but vids and more pics of the engine soon. These pics are dirty, but you get the idea. The power increase from the higher compression and heads should be nice! once the engine is tuned an all sorted out, I will finish designing the 4 link, being as im going to need some assistance with traction!

 

 

nicely ported heads. damn 9.8:1 compression. def gonna have to remove some timing or run methanol injection

 

he'll be fine with a good tune

 

Yeah ill make the tune good. I wanted more "off boost" power.

 

It's getting better every day... The boldness of this build is very impressive... That compression is getting close to my '69 Mach I... It should really move...

 

I was partially right in predicting your next mod. Are those stock heads with porting and the upgraded valves?
That thing is gonna move like the ****ens once you get everything together....must be pushing close to the 600hp mark I would say.

 

Im sure it will be over 600 crank hp. They are stock heads just worked over. No was I was paying the cost of the new trick flow heads.

 

I'm drawn to the trick flow heads for the "I have TF heads" and the power potential they have; but that first truck that blew up with 'em already has made me realize how much this wait time is actually a blessing for me since the kinks wilbe worked out by time I order a set or if I just get a good deal on a set of worked stockers


either way there is plenty of power out of worked heads and a stock stroke - built54 your truck is proof of that

 

No doubt!

A truck blew up using the TF heads?? Got a link??
