I'd like to see more of your motor threads. I'd like to see a comparison of what a guys options are for what he could do at home with a junk yard pull or used engine for X dollars and get roughly Y horsepower compared to just spending X dollars with an engine builder. Not looking for any trade secrets just looking for good ideas and how much I could save or waste doing it myself.
It kind of Risk over Reward, for me everytime i try to save the customer a little bit of money, something breaks and we are both staring at each other, what do to now, as simple as a lifter or not changing a valve, and as high end as a connecting rod, so anymore the only stock rod builds is for local shops that are a 100% with a 60K mile warranty, or maybe a street car with a small tire,
Anything that hits the dirt I like to put a non cast rod, They do a make a good upgraded rod for cheap, and then rebalance the crank for the correct BOB weight,
Quick HP, Camshaft, and springs, you can run up to a .600 lift with any stock motor, and add a good head Like a Small bore LS3/7 then you can get close to 600hp on a ls3 and the Torque will stay close to the same,
That would be awesome. Topics????
Sounds like a plan,
All new builds will try to take some quick pics, and answer any questions,
Will take pics of all the builds Big to Small will make it a point,
Will start with the Disassembly and some of the work we have to do, then can get into the build process,
