470 Stroker build

Just received the same cam for my 470 build. What Intake did you run?

 

At the time it was first built, I ran a T/A SP1 and a Demon 850.
After that I put a B4B with the Demon (had to run an adapter). Finally put the stock intake and a Norm Diehle modified q-jet on it about 10 years ago. Been running that since. I wanted it to look a little more "stockish" that's why I made the changes.

 

Received my heads from Scott Brown..... still waiting for my machinist to address crank and mains. These projects take forever!

 

Pretty bad ass Brad. Are those the push rod tubes you can see part way down the port?
Greg

 

Exactly Greg. And further down is another bulge in the casting for the head bolt. They flow 329 and 260 at .600 lift

 

After many many delays.......(almost 1 year to get the hub for the ATI damper ) I’m back at the 470 build. Degreed the 290-08HL cam to 107 degree intake lobe center as per advise from Jim.
Installed the pistons, torqued the rods and checked stretch with the gauge. Next, bolt on heads.

 

Whose rods are those?
I would have thought they’d be capscrew instead of nut and bolt.

 

Mark, there are no markings on rods to say who’s they are. This is a project that started back in 2010. The pistons are Tri Shield Performance supplied from same year - 2010.

 

Dam...That block looks like jewelry. Hang that around my neck like one of those rappers.

 

Cope brothers. Check everything I mean everything.... Right down to the sonic measurement..

Take the crank to a local guy that you trust......

 

Opps looks like im late.... I hope you did...

 

Funny you say that, mains were not round, had to aline hone mains, polish crank. If I had to do it over again, think I would just order a short block from Tri Shield. Project is back on track, will be installed in my GS over the winter, off to chassis dyno in early spring.

 

Excellent to see things happening. Was bearing crush a concern with align hone opening things up, or was it too small an amount to even worry?

Devon

 

It was such a small amount, wasnt a concern from my machinist. Mains are now 2.3 thou

 

Installed cover and ATI damper hub today. Put the hub in boiling water, went on with the install tool.

 

Does ATI insist on making it a press fit? Never understood the reasoning with it....they do realize it was a slip fit and not a chevy balancer dont they?

 

They are notorious to crack and require a little honing to even get on.....just wonder why

 

Honestly they probably don’t know it’s suppose to be a slip fit

 

well, they crack when people don't measure and take everything for granted. They'll just use a bigger hammer!

ATI claims for their damper, it should be an interference fit. I had ATI hone the new hub based on supplied crank snout measurement, warmed the hub in boiling water, pushed it on the crank with the balancer install tool. Went very smoothly.
