As has been stated before, That was no ones intent in that post. You just take it that way...
You were all over the map in parts selection and goals for that motor..
The gentlemen that were commenting probably have probably over 100 years combined experience working on BBF's...
The advice you were given was FREE.. Do what you want with it and quit bitchin'....

OK. I switched it around a little by listening to advice. Stock block wasn't going to work. Bought an aftermarket block. Asked another question and based on the advice given, am going with a different head. Advice being given definitely isn't being ignored. If that isn't the intent of a build thread forum, I don't know what is then. Didn't start the thread to question the capabilities of the guy building it for me. I dont care how times a "thread like mine" has been started with poor results. My conclusion probably wont be the same, so dont assume. I have been given several different bores and strokes to use and choose at my discretion. I do not know what stroke best suites me. Nor do I know what bore best suits the head I want to use. I certainly COULD tell my builder to choose and just let it be a surprise. I'm not going to call around and bother a bunch of people just so they can drop what their doing and answer a couple of my measley questions. I don't appreciate it, and I'm willing to bet "pros" don't either.

I still don't understand if your engine builder can't answer these questions...then why are you using him? It's clear you have NO idea what it takes to make 1500#/ft of tq or 2K hp, and I don't say that as a criticism. That's a comprehensive build even for a pro but if your engine builder can't answer the questions and you're left with the "school of opinion" form the internet, I think that's what has people concerned FOR YOU. No one is trying to rain on your parade or just be critical for the fun of it. I think some of us here have seen the signs enough times to know how this USUALLY works out and that's what they're trying to tell you, with all due respect, and no disrespect. You might not think so, but we're on your side. Wink
If you think you and your engine builder got this, that's all that really matters. Thumbs up to you both.

You just can't keep yourself from beginning some kind of altercation ... can you ?

I know more about typing than 2khp boosted builds, but just to type some tech content here.

After the basic blocks are there, how is the heat and cylinder pressure managed with 2k turbo deal?
-Pistons, structure, pin sizing, ring pack placement, ring materials, clearances?
-Valves, materials, sizing, seat widths, clearances to deal with the heat?
-Do you need coatings to extend life of the components?
-How about the rest of the valvetrain all the way to the cam drive with thoses cyl. pressures?
-Cooling system... Ignition..

I'd be interested in this kind of stuff and would like to get a warm and fuzzy feeling that I don't have to worry about them myself.

In a build like this you get with one person and follow their advise to the T. In the end if the results don't match the goals you have 1 person to blame and 1 person to hold responsible. You choose your own parts and get advise from 5 people then their are 6 people to blame for failure.

Not pissed one bit. Just disappointed. Off topic.
I spoke with a couple people who had messaged me about the other thread offering actual help and I came to the conclusion of what to do. Ordered a Callies 4.5" crank, Oliver billet rods and Diamond 4.5" pistons. Thank you for those who actually helped! I have ZERO problem helping those who help me. All in all, I got the help I needed and was able to order a bunch of parts. Mission completed. Sad that it went the way it went though.

4.5" stroke with the turbo build?

  +1 the 4.500 stroke and 20 psi is a bad choice in this application, IMHO. Good luck with getting a dished piston for less than 9-1 compression. 48cc ( approximate) dish is a challenge.
