You can give us a call as we deal with Crower and can work it out pretty easily, we already know everything that would need to be done too.
Yup these are gonna be good Jim. This thread has been dormant, can't wait these blocks sound sooo good. Waiting. Mike said 6 months at least. Better then bulldoggiepoop.:dollar: :dollar: :grin: All in fun cant wait for BG and all.:beer
Last time I spoke to Mike Snr we had made a descision on the 4.5" bore/stroke ratio using a crank that he was developing with Crower. This will yeild 572cui. Im hoping for more than 800hp with my stg2TE heads flowing 380+cfm at '650 thou lift. As Mike Jnr was explaining, we need to wait for a cylinder head that will flow easy 400+cfm to support the 700inch motors. As it is I will have to relieve the cylinder head at the mating surface because of the difference between the chamber and bore size???? I havent actually measured the chamber diameter as I have packed them away till the shortblock is ready. Cheers Royden
yes but with different blower otherwise all the same, I don"t really take pictures just looks like another motor to me..
George, I settled on a 572cui but I am probably going to go with the maxed out 604cui with my standard deck height block.....................cause it sounds better. I havent spoken to Mike T yet but I would assume it wont be a problem as the internals havent been ordered yet. C'mon Rod post some pics to wet our appetite! Cheers Royden
I am a little nervous as the aussie dollar has taken a nose dive - :ball: :ball: My 20k shortblock has now just grown by 15%. **** happens. MUST WORK HARDER.............................. Royden
Niceeeeee!!Are you getting crank,rods and pistons from TA also?I`m assuming a 4.5 bore with 4.75 stroke maybe someone will let us know for sure,i`d love to see some pics of Rod`s motor,C`Mon Rod!! Thanks
Is it a problem to run max bore and stroke on this engine like lets say it would be on a 455 block .060 over?will the block weaken? Thanks
Not according to Mike T. Yes everything through TA pistons, rods, crank for a complete shortblock. Cheers Royden
Are any of the preordered blocks ready yet?? I thought that some would be done "this summer", and I was lead to believe one of them was mine. I called TA about 4 months ago (or more), the blocks appeared to be getting machined in the Los Angeles area (Southgate), I asked TA if I could just pick mine up instead of having it sent back to Az, only to be shipped back to CA. I never did get a call back, like I was told I would. Anxiously waiting, Gary G.
