Hey cajun your pm box is full, send me your number and ill call ya in the morning, ill be at his house tomorrow building my trans crossmember

 

Decided to build my own short block. 6.0 iron block, 408 fully forged rotating assembly, balanced. Other than correctly boring the block, what else do I need for the assembly and swap? The

 

PM'd u my #

 

If you are asking this question then you don't need to attempt this. Let a qualified machinist build your rotating assembly.

 

i got a few things i'm looking to sell if anyone is interested... UMI bolt in tubular subframe connectors $140, and full set of front and rear Biltstein HD shocks $390, both unused.

also looking to get my boxed subframe connectors welded in, tighten up headers and replace my Corsa catback with a SLP LM i got sitting in my appartment. to be perfectly honest, i don't feel like dealing with it myself lol... anyone wanna take care of these things for me? i'll pay you or provide beer or whatever.

also interested in selling that Corsa catback... still have the warranty slip for it so you could prob submit for a warranty like its new... only been used since june of last year. thinking like $800?

 

I'm having the block machined and ordering a balanced rotating assembly. How is a machinist needed beyond boring?

 

Unless paying extra for Texas Speed to balance the assembly is a bad idea and it should be balanced with the block.

 

just make sure or do your block first b4 u order pistons

 

Any idea what a machine shop would charge to bore and assemble the short block if I provide all the parts?

 

U can also use build 370 pistons l save u some money. Use stock crank and get some rods and pistons. Turbos love 370s

 

They dont charge much to assemble a shortblock, its worth it IMO. Thats one of the most pricey things in your entire car if you have a failure relating to improper assembly.

 

Seems like a good deal to have em do it. Only looking at 2500-3000 in parts. Then whatever machine work cost. A fully built 408 for just over 3k sounds pretty sweet.

 

B4 u start look at this. They also built a 390ci Turbo motor. Friend just installed one of there motors and is running damn good.

Thats were Im getting my stroker from!

 

I had all my machine work done on mine then i put it together, the machinist will need your Pistons, Rods, Rings, Crank.... let them get the bearings and install them for ya and assemble the rods to the pistons, gap rings, install cam bearings in the block along with crank bearings.....you can even choose to gap your own rings if you want...I have a book i used to double check everything and how to do it too!! Only reason i went this route is because i was new to LS style motors and wanted to know the ins and outs of it.....If you want some help assembeling it i will gladly help you, i have a nice clean ac/heated shop for it to sit in while you get your parts together and the time to do it

 

Just don't forget the little things that add up. Good around rod bolts, arp head studs, gaskets the little things can add up

 

Fast

 

Haven't been around much lately but a GREAT woman and a new project will do that.

This was my Harley when I first got it in december 2010:



Now it looks like this:







I raked it 5* which dropped the front approximately 2" and then I powder coated the triple trees and lower tubes. New exhaust, license plate relocation. I did a Wide Glide conversion basically with some added touches.

Now I'm getting back on the car very soon. New hood, clutch, and 9" are in the works along with a new paint job this winter hopefully. Maybe some other stuff

 

Nice!
