Probably cheaper on material too.
Is the gusseted block also a solid block? Any reason either that block or the wet block can't be sleeved and deck plated?
Will it be a twist or non-twist Crank?

Make it as big as you can, Zach, and then some. Us dummies trying to race diesels will figure out how to apply the torque.
Yes, it's called making power at a higher rpm lol. There is already an abundance in torque. I still try to wrap my head around why we aren't following the gasser crowd on the trend to reduce torque.
Haha.
So 5" crank and 4.300 bore?
It would start as a forging which has a superior grain structure compared to a billet crank. Timeline is unknown for the 5" stroke, the rest, next 2 months....
Some of us have been doing that allready, since about mid 2000's...

"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. "
Read much??

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.
