I dropped the motor off at the engine builder today. Below are a few changes we are making to the engine. It has around 250 trouble free passes on it since we configured it for the ProCharger. The only exception was a broken rocker arm & we replaced the well-used T&D arms with new.

The new crankshaft (billet) is getting a BBC snout/post vs. the old being a SBC post. The new rods are going to be boost specific specs vs. the standard H-beams we had in it. We are going to time change the valves with the same that Brodix assembled the heads with new.

We are also going to a gear drive for the cam, an RCD or Milodon.

This is a competitive & reliable bracket engine combo. I hope we can get around 400 passes out of it before the next freshening.

Note: The Moroso solid motor mounts (block side) are junk after 250 runs, they have cracks & are distorted badly! We have purchased new ones & are going to weld in a doubler plate to beef them up before installing. We are also looking to add a torque limiter of some type to the frame rail & head.
