Surprise surprise.. The block wasn't bored today. haha. That's ok he told me to drop in tomorrow. He'll have the block bored and a deck height for me so i can sit down over the weekend and and do some calculations to get a pin height for some pistons.. :)
You're a machine Chris. Fantastic work. Ta for detailing/resoning why you are doing things, as well as the quality photos (eg the CC calc's).
Inspiring stuff.
looks nice
Cheers guys. Don't go giving me too much praise.. I haven't assembled it and had it running yet! haha.
Good thing the block hasn't been bored.. I wasn't really thinking about it.. I have to wirecut the holes in my torqueplate so it can be used.. :duh: I'll get onto that next week. :)
don't tell me that...just spent the morning painting my 'box and new manifold in matching 'Ford Blue'....although you didn't build this cracker of an engine......just thrashed the pants of it :duh:Quote:

Block deck height from crank centre line is 221.69mm...
Just thought i'd add this incase i lose the card the measurement is written on.. :P
Currently doing some piston research, deciding on comp ratios and brand.. So it's still happening.. :)
