Daaaang Rob. If your truck launches like that, you just may be changin' your shorts.

Eric, is that the 16.5:1 compression engine you had?

I wish my truck was that light. I'm betting that he is close to 1000# lighter than what I have.

Talked to Randy and the block is out getting the lifter bores opened up. Decided on a few different components that we are going to use, like the water pump and oil pump. Hoping to see this thing run on the dyno in April.

My B Day is in April, I'll come to watch instead of heading to the track for my B Day

Sounds like we're heading to Mike Phillips shop in Philpot KY for the dyno session. You are welcome.

Just curious what size & brand lifters you going with on that beast ?

Not sure, Randy was doing some checking on what had an .800 wheel. There are several good companies that make lifters, so it's what fits the bill here. Maybe he'll check here and chime in.

The new comp .904 stuff look like the bomb..... I was talking with Lem about them a few weeks back.

I was just looking at the Comp site and they list them as an "Elite Series" but only for a 351w are they coming out with a BBF model or can you use the 351w model on a BBF block ? Some very good features and listed at around $970 or so a set off Comps site.

Talked to Randy today and it sounds like it's going to be Comp's "race" series lifters with a .903 body. They come with an .820 wheel which is what is needed. Had to have the cam sent out and the exhaust side reground for a better lobe.

Thats the exact specs of the Elite race series.

It's a good deal.....even the .875" stuff has a bigger wheel....... .785" vs the .750".

schmitty what machine shop did u take it to?

The lifter bores are getting done at Holbrook's shop in Detroit.

If its in KY then I wont make it I was just going to ask you where but then I reread this comment, didn't even pay attention.

Talked to Randy again last night and the engine is coming along. He has the heads assembled, with the new Ti intakes, and has the rods there. The rods were some custom made rods, done by a company that Barry Robotnick recommended to him. Cam is done and has a new lobe profile on the exhaust side. It's coming together quite well.

whats the name of the rod co. ?

Randy said he couldn't remember the name off the top of his head. Maybe he'll chime in.

Just curious if it was R & R ......

BME ?

Raw 4340 forgings were from China and machined in the U.S.A. to a non-common over all length.
