    Brad Penn oil, Anyone useing it

    I have been running Kendall racing 20/50 GT-1 since the 416 was completed 4 years ago changing my oil once a year at probably just a couple thousand miles a year. Not a ton of miles but so far so good. Idling close to 40 psi (~1000 rpm in neutral) today at 90+ degrees after my 10 or so mile...

    340 Engine

    My 416 is going in next week at $8800 but that includes many custom options including extensive porting and a custom grind cam......It adds up quick but $8500 for a stock bore run of the mill 340 is high. I will post my itemized list next week some time.

    Build me a Small block

    Just a thought on the percentage loss. A trans and differential will take a certain hp to turn no matter what engine is in front of them. There are other inefficiencies through the drivetrain such as brake drags and bearing drags that you can not get exactly right. Force is a factor of mass...

    Build me a Small block

    I am currently at $7500 for a 416 that should be just over 550hp at the rear wheels. These small block strokers are awesome but not cheap. Only $600 is in assembly. LaPouttre Racing in Bay City, Michigan has proven results. I will let you know how this works out for me.

    Time to build the motor

    I am now leaning towards the same kit. I read on some earlier posts that with the H beam rods you do not have to clearance the block as much. Also, when they refer to clearancing the block is it as simple as taking a die grinder with a carbide bit and "trimming" out material until the corner of...

    Time to build the motor

    Thanks for the info on the strokers. Last time I built a motor five years ago the machine shop had asked for the pistons prior to doing all my machine work. I didn't know they had to hone the block to match the pistons. I assumed they bored the block to the correct dimensions using the torque...

    Time to build the motor

    Well I was planning on running the 318 through the summer but it is now puking about a quart every 50 miles on the expressway so my new motor plans are off to the races. I currently have a 340 block bored 30 over with the freeze plugs and cam bearings installed. I also have a nice set of stock...
