Wait.......1200hp???? 7M??? This should get very interesting! Looks really good so far, but that's a pretty lofty goal.
Ya I got it, I am still looking around. Its still awhile from now that I will be needing fuel stuff. I will keep you in mind.IBoughtASupra;1737270 said:

I didn't say it can't be done! I said it will be very interesting to see. As far as I know, Mibrum has done it (1000+), and so has Duane. There may be a couple more. It's not an everyday occurance, and I'm sure it takes FAR above average workmanship. I don't have any idea what the skills of you or your builder are. I'm not doubting. I posted merely to be subscribed. Things look good in pictures and print. I want to be here to see it in video.
i love it... and as for the aluminum exhaust....what is the head made of?.... think people.... its not gonna melt... if it was the mounting flange tor the manifold on all of our cars would be...
Oh I know lol no worries. I've built plenty if engines and as far as I know they've all been running to this day. But this motor is requiring precise craftmanship on every little detail. I personally am probably not going to build the block (I would love to but dont want to toss 4k+ down the drain. I'll let rich @ sip do it since he's built many 1000+ hp 7msForcedTorque;1737483 said:
Again direct vs indirect heat. Also the headhas coolant running threw it constantly so not a very good comparison. It will save me more time & money to do the SS down pipe and run an aluminum DP/dump for the strip cause 4/5" aluminum bends are $$$ compared to replacing the straight 5" catback. Also exhaust doesn't have any "heat exchanger" like coolant except for metal it can transfer to. Bends create heat, downpipe has atleast 2 bends.fixitman04;1737497 said:

New oil pump, shimmed, filter relocation to the front, using a 2qt filter, then to a micron filter, and oil cooler
Coolant nothing special, I have a koyo radiator, fal fans, would like to find an electric pump that would eliminate a belt just needing an alternator belt.
Sweet I'll have to ask him, thankscrisp;1737763 said:
Billet mains yes forgot to put them on the list. There on my master list at home. Girdle I don't think they make anything for these engines.ohiosupramst;1737795 said:
If they don't make it, I am sure you can, it is not hard at all. It is mainly used to prevent any movement of the block and make it rigid.
People say to just go billet mains, others say girdle. Why not both? There are no negatives to them because as Ian said, after 600HP, a straight six crank is a wet noodle.

I'll have tO look into it and talk to rich.
Lots of time, welding and blending put into these. All screw holes filled, blended flush, 3000 pipe mounting welded up, tapped for AN fittings
Straigh from powder
