That is sexy haha. Mine are just delipped and radiused. 15.5:1. Coating just added security for heat and crack preventative correct?

My compression is slightly higher than that. The engine was built to last, did everything that I could to allow that investment to be broadcast over as many miles as possible. It does help with the heat, yes.

Sounds like an awesome build so far man. Good luck! Will be watching closely, planning on starting my build by the end of the year.

Well pistons checked out all good, will be reusing them and getting coated and relief cut for valve clearance. Heads appear to be good, machine shop will be pressure testing them then getting fire ringed and ported more. Cam getting sent to Gearhead for a core. Block is at machine shop for line bore. Now just to decide between twin termis or gen3

Are you planning on filling the block at all?

Yes that is being done. Girdle, rods, fill, fire ring in block and heads. Was debating on 1.6:1 billet rockers. Comes with new pushrods too.

I gotta talk to Carson about um more. I don't think they're Harland sharp. I know I saw it sitting on his desk and was like ooooo what's that, how much haha. He has another set of 1.8:1 but doesn't want to sell them yet till he tries them.

gen 3 gets my vote if you run 2 ipr's. I could possibly make you a ipr block if you were interested.

Do you machine one up? And for the ipr harness, how do you run in for two? Splice and add wire to another clip?

Obsledpuller · Jun 20, 2014

I assume the dual IPR setup is the same as the BTS style if it is you put them in series mine comes from OEM harness to IPR 1 then from IPR 1 to IPR 2 then out of 2 back to OEM.

4.0l sahara · Jun 20, 2014

wire them in series. In a while I'll be making my self another one I could always make two.

isootmypants · Jun 21, 2014

When you doin it? I'd need to run it up to Carson

I can let you know this week. Hopefully sooner than later my truck hasn't run in way to long. Me and Kevin are picking up a second Bridgeport mill this week so hopefully as soon as we get that going we can pump one or two out. The other one we bought is apart at the moment getting redone.
