Where is this located?

I don't mean to insult you. would you accept $80.00 shipped?

I searched. So far I've found Calico. What are other companies that will DLC a set of wrist pins?

thanks,
Lewy

thank you all. Gregory, I'll be calling you soon.

I'm gathering parts for "the last small block". It seems like the project might need a set of SB2.2 heads. I think i remember reading the lifter angles were different for blocks designed for this head? If so what were the angles? And can you get there by boring the lifters in a regular blo...

do you think it can safely be bored & honed .020"?

Does anyone know the maximum you can bore a Gen4 5.3 LS block? Would an amazon sonic checker tell me?

thanks

mt-engines, that's good to know. I've been looking at them for my 5.3 LS.
do you get the ones with X oil wiping grooves on the skirt?

Like the subject line says. There are 4.3" and 4.5" cranks available. I seem to remember the 4.5 stroke was not considered the best because it pulled the piston out of the bore. Anyone here have any input? It will be a stock block. thanks for the help. I don't know a lot about these engines.

got a reply (almost like they were reading this forum?!) Blocks are $4500.00 and are supplied as follows: • 4.400" Bore Spacing • 9.025" Deck • 4.120" Rough Bore • 350 Main Journal • Machined to Accept 1SPEC One Piece Rear Main Seal Adapter • SBC .904" Lifter Bores • 55mm Roller/...

I emailed them about cost and availability. No reply.

Any one seen the 1SPEC block in person? from PRI..... This Evolution small block Chevy cast iron block from 1SPEC (for 1 Stop Performance Engine Castings) in Franklin, Indiana, offers standard features such as deck heights of 9.025–9.325 inches, a 350 or 400 main journal, bore spacing of 4.400 or 4....

where are you located? what are the rules? SPA turbo used to have a big port counter flow head. I just looked, it was/is a crossflow head.
Techtonics in Oregon knows those heads very well, and they've figured out what parts are junk. Like most of the camshafts.
good luck with your project!!

Does anyone know of a shop(s) near Nashville,TN that does flow testing. I need 2 LS heads tested.
thanks,
Lewy-D

If you don't mind me asking, what engine would this ring be for?
