Build my 598 procharged motor
Okay, so I am getting ready to start collecting parts for my engine build. I want a large cubic inch procharger motor making 11-1200hp. Help me decide on what parts will get me there. I was thinking........
Dart big m 598
Dart pro 1 345 CNC heads
M-5 pro charger
Callies dragon slayer crank
Oliver rods
Je pistons
Basically getting ready to start building the short block. The main questions I have are what bore and stroke and why? A lot of big hp motors are built from 557 and 565's. Why not go to the 598 or 632? Also what base compression ratio would be ideal, making between 12-15 pounds of boost through a procharger? This is going to be expensive and I want to do it RIGHT the first time. Okay suggestions please.

This is just my personal opinion so I'm sure someone will flame away BUT personally I would rather have a motor with a 4.500 bore and real stabil cylinder walls IF I was building a endurance blower motor and same with the stroke, once you get too much too much stroke, you get tremendous piston speed at high rpm's/cylinder side loading and those paper thin cyl walls start deforming too. I was in Lapouttre racings shop years ago and he had 3 604/632's there with a little smidgen of cylinder web dividing the bores and all of them had blown head gaskets, looked like a bad plan to me, no one will convince me other wise, I would build a 557, 4 3/8 stroke and 4.500 bore and just give it a 1lb more boost, Smitty

Have you took a look at these heads yet?
http://www.profilerperformance.com/r...c-ported-heads
They are outperforming most Dart heads, a much newer intake port design, as well as a thicker deck.
I would just get regular mains if it was mine, and I would not go with to extreme of a stroke, as Smitty already said.

I was just reading through some of Dart's info, and they said the regular mains are good to 1500hp. So that should work. I like the sounds of the 555, that sounds like a nice package. I have never assembled a dart block before. Do the lifter bores need a bushing, or are they good to go.
