OK I spent time on the phon today calling KB, BME, Indy, Ritter, Callies...
Only Indy makes a low deck block and the price is 7300 before machnining and 8300 after machining. This is more than I planned to spend on everything so no aftermarket block for me.
I will give it a shot with 230 casting block.
After thinking it thru I will use 500 stroker with longer rod to avoid side loading, 4.15” crank and 6.760 rods.
Will get line2line coating on the pistons, half fill with hardblock + install BCR griddle. Rotating assembly will be dynamically balanced. This is a long therm deal but I will send updates while I’m shopping for parts and machining.
If it blows up soon after I will post that also.
Not giving up that easy. I see many builds with more power than I want living for years somehow. Hoping to be that lucky also.
I will use nitrous controller to make things as gentle as I can.
Are 440 source complete strokers a good option or should I just get Molnar crank and rods with custom coated pistons from UEM directly?
