Thats the picture from the drivers seat. I build them to blow up. i am doing an endurance in stock form articlefor a few magazines. i run them in endurances races. 12, 14 and 24 hour events and have them in demolition derby cars to be abused and overheated and i have a figure 8 car i have one in also and just beat the **** out of it. they all are stock bottom ends and they all turn 8000+. i did burn one up ones at 8250. starved the oil pump becasue of the oil drainback characteristics. But i have not broken a part yet. burnt a bunch of pistons once. 6.0 with 5.3 heads on 87 octane. Rented greenville-pickens speedway to do a test on it and it went 287 laps before it pounded a ring land closed and started to self destruct. hone it, throw some more POS pistons in it and ran it in a 14 hour Chumpcar race this past weekend. Not saying they dont have mix matched parts but its all stock stuff.

Dam
8000rpm is dam impressive out of stock rotating assemblies. I've never been concerned with 7000. But idk if I'd spin 8k on my motor unless I was trying to grenade it.
Man I really hope u at least got a Sfi flexplate and damper on those motors

well i have different combinations but themost popular one is a 6.0 flat piston engine out of a cadillac. 05 cadillac with ls1 heads. stock springs, balancer, flexplate with the holes elongated, stock rods bolts. i made my own torque converter adapter. just saw a picture of one and made my own. I work in one ofhte most state of the art cnc shops in the US. the box and intake are from edelbrock. the victor jr intake and the box that comes with it. dont know the part number off my head. not really too concerned with that. holley 750. as faras the reluctor i dont know. never really cared, just pack all the parts into an engine and run the dog sht out of it. i have a few videos of one of them in my F8 car, ill see if i can find one or two on youtube.
I work in the engineering dept at Stewart-Hasa racing so i am always working on durability on parts and piece to make racecars faster so its kinda what i do.
