Nice
 

Here is the foundation for our next build. It's a 540 which is expected to to 800hp with natural aspiration and a hydraulic cam. Should be done in a few weeks. More pics to come :evilb:

sweeeeeeet

Re: Nice
 

What are you using for rotating assemblies, pistons, cam, heads.... etc?

Re: Nice
 

just curious, how are you getting 800HP natural?

Re: Nice
 

why not top it off like this for 1400 hp ?

Re: Nice
 

Callies 4340 forged steel crank, Manley H beam rods, Je flat top pistons. To answer the question of the HP, the engines are completly blueprinted instead of assembling the parts from the box. We check every rod journal large and small and hone as needed. Even though it may only be .0005" ,when it is a few it could mean 10-20 hp. Also the block is blueprinted making sure there is no deck slope to ensure compression on each cylinder are the same. Also goes with internally ballancing the crank and rods. Rod sets usually come within 2-4 grams from the lightest to heaviest. We take the lightest and perfectly match the rest along with the piston set. Extensive port work is done to the heads along with matching head to intake ports to maximize flow and efficently. Along with many other things. Putting all the little differences together it makes a BIG difference allowing us to use the same components as someone else and build more horsepower and a more reliable engine.

Here are the rods we are using.
