Looking to make a larger motor (4) planning on a 2665, as I don;t really want to go over 103mm to make cooling easier.
The 80 crank is available for stock rods not the Chevy rods. It is my understanding that the Chevy option offers a significant upgrade to the strength. I'm tempted to do the stock. My question is : should I wait an indeterminate time for the crank with the Chevy rod option? What am I really loosing here? or is this just a must for the larger motors? My 1st engine build. |

actually thats true about the last 5 years.
its happening here too. you want your 356 heads machined? sorry. the good guy just closed. and he did. we just found that out here. covid might have prompted something but it was going to happen? it needs to get passed on generationally? it will shrink for sure, the market. but you are going to need someone or a few someone's who stay in the game. so @Mikey914 idea maybe is not so wrong. but you are going to have to be good at it. and i guess people are going to have to pay?....... thats what i see ahead. |
