To mount the pump on the pan we would need to belt drive it. We opted for the reliability of the gear drive. This has 5/8 studs in the aluminum per main bearing.
Can you elaborate on how/how much girdle to block engagement is accomplished?To mount the pump on the pan we would need to belt drive it. We opted for the reliability of the gear drive. This has 5/8 studs in the aluminum per main bearing.
You guys bring up a good point. From the image, that bed plate is a smooth joint with the bottom of the block structure. I would want them to interlock. It may be interlocking, just can't see it in the images.
I wish I had this skill set.

Why dowels? Just curious?Dowel pins or a step. Dowels would be my preference.
IIRC the auxiliary drive runs 97% of engine speed. You guys going to re-gear or leave it at that?
I'd guess the mystery tube chassis that was in the background of a few pictures from the firepunk shop. Also the race truck chassis that Drew has slowly been working on. Now that I think about it, they could be one in the same chassis!What platform is this engine going in? pulling? racing? all-the-above? Lavon's white truck?

I barely even remember seeing them, just kinda hanging out in the back of a picture of the race truck, maybe when you guys installed the 9" axles. You can give us the details, we won't tell anyone!I have no idea what your talking about
Seems to be the complete opposite of fleece and lsm. Bedplate versus caps, and tons of webbing features versus smooth.
I see derek rose had his head studs pull out of his aluminum block....do you have any plans to combat that issue?
The Pro Mod we're working on is an old gas chassis (S10) that we're adding double frame rail and updating to 25.2B chassis and hoping to be around 3000lb race weight when finished. It will have a LSM billet aluminum block (was purchased 2yrs ago), dry sump setup, Bosch ECU, Bruno Lenco trans with Neil Chance Converter, Mark Williams Rear. Its a customer owned project that they ran out of time to complete so it was turned over to us to finish and get down the track. Rudy's spring 2018 is its debut.
