TA block

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.

 

Looking forward to getting mine!

:bglasses:

 

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

 

Just waiting on the shop machining them to get their act together and finish them up :TU:

 

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.

any updates. getting anxious

Cody

 

mine should be running in 3 weeks if all goes well

 

Rod, same basic blower combo with the new block?

 

any pictures Rod?

 

yes but with different blower otherwise all the same, I don"t really take pictures just looks like another motor to me..

 

Can you take some pics for us that get excited pleaseeeee.

 

How would you go about a 600ci on a standard height block?

Thanks

 

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..............................

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

 

Max Bore + Max Stroke (4.5 and 4.750) = 604 cubic inches of all hell breaking loose.

 

I like the sound of 573 ci, just 1 more cube then the chebby 572:TU:

 

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.
