I, for one, have no intention of cranking 4000rpm or turning the fuel up to 300+hp. But, examining what fails when you do seems a great way to find and address failure modes.

http://www.steelsoldiers.com/deuce/45917-55mph-detonation-post-mortum.html I read this thread like a bible.. These are the 2 issues I fear most.

Hmmm.... I wonder if we can source custom bolts cheaper without the ARP logo. Studs sound interesting. Are you thinking we would just spot face the cap and maybe clearance the block? I didn't think it was that tight in there on the sides or the bottom of the sleeve.

.69 overdrive for M-35 and variants:drool:

A very large chunk of steel, programming time, and tool time on a big enough CNC could get you one. But that seems a bit far to go... Kinda makes me wonder about finding a "core" engine to have balanced, magnafluxed, stress relieved, and good quality bolts put in. That way you have it waiting...

395s and the gear kit are on the shopping list! Maybe Santa will be generous... but I doubt it. Thank you for bumping this... me and a buddy were just talking about this build as a good source of data for beefing up the bottom end, even if you didn't crank the power.

This guy says he DID IT with a stock block... and that he wasn't the only one. Considering the pictures, I'm tempted to believe him.

I have much more modest goals for my engine... just enough to run 75mph on the highway without stressing her. I may never run her that fast, but I want to be able to.

I'm just amazed how many of these are turning 4000+rpm on a regular basis with high loads. It makes me feel better about some things I have heard about these things exploding if the smoke-screw gets looked at wrong.

Necrothreading... But I like what this says about the bottom end.
