JC03SS Posted April 15, 2014 Report Share Posted April 15, 2014 Hopefully you can get this beast running right now. Very nice setup man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOWN SS/T Posted April 16, 2014 Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 You have an AWD dyno available to you right? Hopefully it turns out well and puts down some numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[email protected] Posted April 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2014 You have an AWD dyno available to you right? Hopefully it turns out well and puts down some numbers I have to have it towed about 80 miles to the nearest AWD dyno near Seattle, I want it broke in there before I even touch it so it's covered in case something goes wrong.

[email protected] Posted April 30, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Finally got some engine specs, I think I translated everything correctly but I attached the PDF as well in case something looks fishy.

AKSSS Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Rods – Manley 4340 H Beam 6.125 C to C, ARP 2000 Bolt Rod Bearing CL .0023 ACL Race Bearing .010 Main Line – ARP Main Stud Installed + line honed, Main CL .0027 ACL Race Bearing .010 I'm curious as to see what your oil pressure will be at and what oil you will be running. I everything I have read and with guys I have talked to you want your mains and rod bearing clearances to be between .00150 and .00200. Now I am NOT experienced with this. I am just trying to learn from this. Please don't take this as a knock at your setup. I am currently getting ready to assembly my motor and oil pressure is a big deal with something I am trying on my motor. If you could see what weight oil they run in it and oil pressue at idle. I just looked this up. Suggested bearing clearances on stock to moderate high performance is .00080-.00210 mains and .0090-.00250 rods moderate to high performance is .00250-,00275 mains and .00225-.00250 rods So you are right there.

[email protected] Posted May 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Well I have it back finally, had a coil pack code pop up the second day, switched the 6th and 2nd pack just in case but I think the wiring harness just wasn't seated fully, it hasn't come back since. I have put about 150 miles on it so far and other than the same two knock sensor codes coming back like they did before it got rebuilt everything has been good. The codes don't seem to be affecting anything currently so I am going to finish breaking it in and worry about it after that. I also have a picture of the cluster in there, I wasn't sure what I would think of it but I ended up really liking it. Next task will be to tackle the terrible wiring job that it currently has.

Downeast Johnny Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Sounds like your long wait is almost over. Really like the engine bay shot. :thumbsup: Good luck with the rewiring. You going new harness or not that extensive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ric Posted May 28, 2014 Report Share Posted May 28, 2014 Man I hope everything goes good now, I would love to see how it'll run, that's a beast of a motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[email protected] Posted May 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2014 (edited) Going to just extend the harness where it is needed to tuck it away, I have a nice soldering iron and quite a bit of patience so I will get it done eventually. I have a Gopro sitting in my cab, just need to find some time to set it up and get some video.

[email protected] Posted June 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Had it just over two weeks and now the transmission blew this morning, it is making a fairly loud humming noise so I am hoping it is just the pump that went but I wouldn't be surprised if it was the whole thing knowing my luck.

Downeast Johnny Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Sounds like your in an old fashioned $h*t storm Brother. Sorry to hear about this latest trouble. At least now you've got a chance to go with a 4L80. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC03SS Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Wow you have luck like me pure dodo. On a side note how does the engine feel? Is it running good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[email protected] Posted June 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 (edited) Engine runs great so far, only got about 300 miles on it before the trans acted up though. It'll probably get a 4L80E eventually anyway, but I was hoping to at least get a year to gather parts before needing to pony up for the swap.

AKSSS Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Sorry to hear the bad luck! At least when your done, your going to have big power and a solid drivetrain! I can't em aging for a n/a build the torque that thing is putting out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
