Jim,

Let me dig around for the flow numbers..
They have to be here somewhere..lol

nice solid build , you better hang on

Jim
Let me know when you take it to SGMP. I would like to see ou run , like Bruno said better hang on that s gonna be one amazing ride

If you don't have a windage tray in that thing you better tear it back down and get one in it because with a stroke that big it will pick up oil from the pan ... and the heads should flow 340 in 232 ex... about normal for them...

Thanks Mike if you have them that will be great to know how they flow but when it hits the track I believe it will let me know how good they are and how my c6

Thanks for the info Coug no it don't have a windage tray I did put a low oil pressure light in this time.I didn't buy a windage tray it will be get a new pan when I do the frontend swap on it next winter.On a windage tray will it work with any pan or do you have to get one for what pan you run.This is my 1st stroker engine of any kind so I am new to what all is needed for for one.The pan has already been on a 557 with no problems turning 7200 rpms without a tray is the only reason I did not ask about a windage tray.

I call you when I get it ready and when I heads down that way.

Jim I just use a motorsport windage tray works fine, I have seen many times when you start getting up in the stroke the crank pulls oil from the pan, not so much on the front sump pans but way worse on the rear sumps. But it is nice cheap insurance in either case

I will check in on 1 my engine is still on the engine stand just recieved my push rods today and will be next weekend before I get a chance to install it with work. So no big problem to install one now might as wail go ahead and do it now and be done with it and added insurance.

Who sales a good tray FRP dont offer one any more canton and milodon has to be trimed for a stroke from what I have seen so far.

Here is some pics

looking good

Thank was hoping to install it in the morning but old mother nature is show her face again rain and t storms so it looks like it will sit on the engine stand another week

Well just maybe next Saturday it will go in and fired up.

552 is up running truck moves under it own power once again it is alot heather than the 460 didn't get on it but eased down on it just a tad and it felt better than before.I only have 110 turbo blue in it right now not enough octane to get on it hard but I can still feel the different in power.

Congrats Jim , I know you are Excited . Now time to head to Cecil for TNT .

Got a couple more thing to do 1at change gears to 4,30 and universal joints

Let me know before you head down . Would like to see you run.

Glad to hear it's coming together Jim.

Congrats

Thanks guys I will post some results after I make a few passes hoping to carry it in 3 weeks for some tnt passes still need to do the gear change to 4.30 ,new universal joints,and put a bigger battery wire to the starter.With this engine my starter is pulling more amps and heating the wire up some when the engine get up to temp.Starts ok when the engine is cold if the cable change don't help then I will buy a new starter I have the db starter on it now.I have never had a problem with it on the 460 starting but it don't have the compression like the 552 does.

Be sure to put a good spacer deal under that carb.

Kim I don't have room for a spacer right now until I do the frontend swap under it amd remove the windshield I got to cut some out of the cowl.I am afraid if I cut it now the windshield will crack from no support from the removing the cowl and windshiel bracing.I was looking to cut it while the engine was out but decided to wait until I do the front end change then lexan windshield.
