Well I don't think I quite feel you're pain lol, you had just dumped a but load of time & money into it & then it just takes a poop on you

At least I got to beat on mine for a while

Spray-Bomb · 02-17-2008, 08:23 AM

Well I went and got some STP oil junk & put in it, but it didn't help any
So I have a scheme (I mean plan), that if works will be rather cool
Sorry, I can't tell you it's a secret

Bob 68327 · 02-17-2008, 09:48 AM

Can't believe that STP didn't fix it!! I saw Richard Petty on tv and it fixes everything

Good Luck !! with the top secret plan !! Bob

Spray-Bomb · 02-17-2008, 09:57 AM

Lmao !!!

Spray-Bomb · 02-17-2008, 10:28 AM

Well I set my scheme (I mean plan) into motion tonight, so I hope all goes well with it lol

It's gonna be kick'n !!!

And if it needs more than that, I'll prolly just stick a I-6 in it till I have the money to buy the engine I've been wanting for my truck (454 sleeved down to 396, bad@ss engine)

I'm super bummed about this

Why not just put a 396 crank in a 454 and get a 427?

Spray-Bomb · 02-17-2008, 11:07 AM

Well this is a race engine & the thicker walls make it more durable
As well as make it be capable of handling more boost

I didn't build it, so I'm not gonna change it lol

I hear you there, I just did a 5 speed swap.

Spray-Bomb · 02-17-2008, 12:29 PM

Nice, I WAS planning on a 4-speed swap before my engine started giving me trouble...

Sucks to hear about the motor man, I miss hearing that small block through those single chamber mufflers!

BTW, what's this talk about a 396? What do you know about a Big Block Chevrolet, boy?

Spray-Bomb · 03-31-2008, 09:37 PM

Yeah bro I miss it too, in fact I fired it up open header'd yesterday & moved it (I just cant drive it)

I know me some BBC stuff

I don't know jack about bbc (and less than i'll admit about sbc

) Why would you want to sleeve down a 454 to a 396? I always thought bigger was better.

Spray-Bomb · 04-01-2008, 04:44 AM

Being sleeved down it now has thicker cylinder walls, making it stronger

Therefor I can run a lot of boost on this engine & pump out 1000hp easy

Lated · 04-02-2008, 12:09 AM

Gotcha, makes sense to me
