burnnotice1000 588 Posted June 11, 2022 Well it could be , problem is evrytime I take a pic on that driveway the camera makes it look x5 worse than it actually is,if in the garage they seem to be fine,interesting thing about scratches I once took a 400 clevo crank to the machine shop to get it milled and he said that big scratch won't affect its performance,he could have easy said ahh yeah m8 $350 to mill it but he didn't and just got the crank linished and it was fine I guess maybe what angle the scratch or scouring is.Sent from my SM-A125F using TapatalkOk block is cleaned and painted and put the core plug set in tomorrow will drop the crank in and maybe a piston or 2Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk 4 2 RM351, Free.51, gregaust and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CHESTNUTXE 7,636 Posted August 13, 2022 while reading about the t5 thread before,in rememberd i had an idea of putting a single rail behind this 472 c.i,a shop sells a big block alloy bell to suit top loader or single rail,as its not a race engine,its 100% stock,a 008 351c xc xd xe single rail should be fine imo. 1 burnnotice1000 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gerg 10,875 Posted August 14, 2022 I don't think it will be mate, it's torque that kills gearboxes, not horsepower. And big blocks are known for having cubic amounts of low end torqueSent from my CPH2197 using Tapatalk 1 CHESTNUTXE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
