Original 390ci = SOLD OUT
6.0 Block

ARP main studs

New 390ci = $4695
6.0 Block

Callies Dragonslayer 3.800" crank

New 390ci = $5495

Results in a stronger piston using the shorter stroke, shorter stroke has more journal overlap,
1/10" more journal overlap then 4.000" crank.

journal overlap? Stronger piston because you don't have to move the pin as far?

I believe it's a 6.0 iron block. If you want an Lsx block, that is a $2,645 upgrade.

Looks like a nice setup, would be interested to see how long it would hold at 2k hp level.

Can the 6.0 Iron block handle 2000 hp ? It's $ 6995.00 with LSX.

I know the Iron can handle 1000 hp.

Overlap is considered an important factor of crankshaft strength, hence why GM made "400 main" vs. "350 main" when they increased the crankshaft stroke for 400 SBC. This picture should better explain.

No,

Compression height dictates the real estate available for the ring lands. As you shorten compression height rings are supported by less material, top ring land generally is compensated to be thinner. Thinner top land any extra heat applied to the piston (detonation) will cause the aluminum to contract.

Thicker top ring land is able to absorb the heat, less chances of cracking or affecting the structure of the piston.

This cylinder had 44% leak down

LSX block or other aftermarket block for over 1200hp

That $6995 I tried to make apparent GMPP LSX block.

Just to clarify

$6995

GMPP LSX block
Callies dragonslayer crankshaft
Callies Ultra billet rods
CP Piston set/steel top ring set/.180 wall pins
H series bearings
ARP main studs

6.0 with same parts $5150

LSX block is $1845 upgrade

That comprises of LSX Block, we hone the cam tunnel on LSX, it does need more boring time, we can eat it for a sale if someone wants to step it up.
