Motor build

Sup.
I'm looking to get a dart 8.2 deck built over the winter. Who on the east side would be a good shop to call? I need them to get the obtain the block and build the short block. Thanks

I heard champion is closing. Anyone know about that? Don't know if it's true, I hope not. Joe & Ed do great work.

Champion did my Teksid 4.6 block. Great to deal with.. Hope they don't close

 

[gub]

Do they do good quality? I can only afford to do this once lol. So I really need some good guys to do it.

x4 for Champion, they did a great job on one of my SBF. I hope they aren't closing!

 

[gub]

Any other places I can call?

Ed is retiring this year. Joe said he wasn't 100% on what will take place.

That's too bad, Ed was who helped me out building my motor - one hundred percent first class all around!! My #2 is Holbrook racing engines, worth the drive.

You're going to spend $5k on a short block and limiting yourself to a 30 minute drive?

Holbrook

champion took over 6 months to build a short block 347 for a friend.
too expensive, too long.

Another question. About where is the boost limit for 10:1 compression on e85? Twin turbos on and aluminum headed sbf

Is the motor being built for boost? I was just talking to another member about this on Monday.

 

[gub]

Yes. I was going to roll it around n/a for a while before the twins go on.

I did a little reading after I responded earlier. Seems that the LS guys are pushing high teens up to 20 PSI on those builds. I am not sure on the exact amount you can force into a SBF. If you are doing head studs and upgraded gaskets (id assume you are), you wont have to worry as much about head lift.
