I asked Kyle (owner and mechanic) to go ahead and fully assemble the motor and with all that, the total came out to be 6900 shipped. I plan on supercharging the car so I went ahead and kept the stock compression. What do you guys think? Any suggestions? Kyle is a little backed up so he won't start on motor for another week or two. I would appreciate any other suggestions so I can think and tell kyle to change things if needed. Thanks everyone!

 

Wow, that's quite a bit of oil consumption, sorry to hear that. Looks like a nice setup and I'm excited to see what it puts down. Good luck

 

Possibly the only change I would consider would be the Head Gaskets
and ARP L-19 head studs. That is only if you are planning on Supercharging
like you said, and then if you want to wind up the boost, you will have a
margin of safety. Easier to pay for it now, rather than later. Not saying
a must do, but it needs consideration. You will see them in his options
list.

 

Wow big dog, you are about to crush some feelings with that motor.
Since I'm about to have a Kid, now is a good time to tell the Wife I'm trading in the G for a E55,,,, 516lb of tq all because it has a back seat for the baby......LMAO

 

can't wait to see what that thing puts down NA.

 

I assume the long block is the entire motor (heads, oil pans, etc??)

was that $6900 with the $1500 core charge?
do they use in a new timing chain? how much was shipping?

they do have great prices on built motors, so thats prolly the direction i'll go this fall.

 

yes did you have to send a core??????

 

I spoke to Kyle and he says the L-19s are over kill. He says it will be comforting to know but the regular ARP main and head studs are good enough... especailly if I'm only shooting for 500WHP tops.

I believe he says the timing chains are used but inspected and the shipping was 390 with the truck having a lift. Without the lift, 320 I think.

Prices are good, considering everyone else I called wanted like 7500+...

 

I will send the core... Kyle is going to set it up where they drop off and take mine.

 

I think i would drop the compression so if in the future you do want to get to 500rwhp you can turn up the boost safely.

 

500 rwhp... isn't that too much for a daily driver?... i want to get as closes to 450 rwhp... safely......

 

500whp is my goal, and many people have it done on a daily. It's never too much

 

i see what you mean.... I'm just trying to stay resonable... I definitly want reliability and want my motor to last.

 

thats not bad at all. All you'll have to do is put back on the accessories, manifolds and plenum right?

good luck. I'd definately run that bugger 500 hp on pump gas!

 

str8dum1, you think I will be able to run 450whp on a built motor? or is that still too much even with the motor build?
