We are looking at releasing custom and oem replacement crankshafts for the 5.9l/6.7l (4.724"/4.880") as well as releasing a 5.00" stroker crank.
Anybody interested in the 5.00" stroke? I'm thinking the 5" stroke, 4.3" bore block with our new CR head would make quite a torque monster for you guys that tow a lot. Thoughts?
Also, we have almost completed our test pieces on our new blocks. They will have a deck thickness of 1.4", which is almost .600" thicker than OEM. The floor of the coolant jacket where the mains will tie in have .500" more material. There will be gussets from the head bolts bosses to the floor of the coolant jacket.
We are looking at an exoskeleton and possible a cross bolt main cap as well as gussets to the mains in the block.
My goal is to have them made in two bore sizes 4.250 and 4.300. The 4.3" would come with 62mm cam bore for our most aggressive cams.
Also our new head would be around 260CFM out of the box.
Thought on a 7.1L short block?
Here are a few pics of what we are working on and then some of the gussets we plan to incorporate into our block.
