Big Block build 540

[andre540]

thanx tripper, who's engine does he do that's winning? cheers bud

[wagoner]

so he must be a nice guy to go with it

spot on, he's a fucking top bloke. he built my short motor and ported my heads. attention to detail is awesome

tip: rock up with a FUIC strong or JD's (or both) and you'll be laughing, ey TK

[andre540]

thanx wagoner, has he got a flowbench? dyno? cheers bud

[<---cop]

hi eddie munster yes big concerns about weight that's why i had the block cnc machined in the states with a max lightening program, same with the heads - they have had a cnc light program as well even though they are alloy.The crank is a light deal with proper big end holes and straight through mains gun drilling It will weight 16 lb less than a 350 chev with cast heads. but still not light enough i know, would love an all alloy deal but then reliability becomes an issue.

Yeah nah.

Troll.

Who have you pissed off lately TK?

You would have to speak to TK about that

thanx wagoner, has he got a flowbench? dyno? cheers bud

TK does not have a flow bench, do you have any idea how much they cost etc.

How can i upload pics?

to upload pics either put them on a site like photobucket, or use the attach button and upload them from your computer.


To give you a idea of TK's work he had a customer that wanted a quick repair on a motor , a quick and nasty 48 hour rebuild gained 30RWKW's i think, CBF digging up the thread but it was a WRX show car

[andre540]

Mate i am seriously thinking of sending it to him, just being careful that's all. like i said he sounds like he is the man

[andre540]

mate i know i sound dumb but what the f""k is a url ? keeps askin for url

[andre540]

here we go pic of my crank hope it works

[andre540]

keeps saying file too big will try again tomorrow

[Fondles]

For a expensive Byrant crank that's been on a diet it sure appears to have a load of mallory added to it.

[Decadentia]

fuck me if that's mallory there'd be a few $$$ in that crank.

[andre540]

had to to accomodate the longer rods the counterweights were spun down a shitload as well

[andre540]

long rods = heavy metal

[<---cop]

So if this is legit, you're telling us you wanted to build a reliable endurance circuit racing engine for a HQ which you can't afford to pop... so you went catalogue shopping and bought components for an AFR headed CNC Dart block swinging 540 cubes, and now you are looking for an engine builder to assemble and dyno your collection of parts?

[andre540]

i did more than catalogue shopping. i did my homework as i have a friend in usa who helped source the right parts for the job

[andre540]

i am making sure i don't mess up by turning it all to a piece of crap

[andre540]

a good friend just bought an engine from usa and paid $27000 for it. he ran it in and been real careful then blew the rods out of it, the company is a reputable company which shall remain nameless

[andre540]

i cannot afford to mess this up and i can assure you i will check out who is doing the job on it. this forum seems like the only one with real no bull people on it so i am asking who to get to build it. that's all

[greenhj]

john sidney or charlie saliba.

If they wont do it, theyll know someone who will.

[andre540]

thanks green hj but no thanks bud

[gmh265]

+1 for saliba.

or Aaron Hambridge at APM

[gmh265]

whats with the blower pulleys under the bench

[andre540]

good machinists but need engine knowledge in building... never heard of apm ? who are they mate?

[andre540]

i have a set of small block heads and blower kit which i will be selling soon.
