Nothing on www.car-parts.com yet! Engine will be tall - read up on the Navigator 5.4 Ford swaps on www.coral.com - they're shimming their crossmembers lower to fit under the Mach 1 hoods. The IS-F Toyota will carry a 5.0 version of the i-Force - not sure if it is a destroked 5.7 or a stroked...

hmmm.......design inertia - existing designs - supplier pricing, a long chain - a long heavy chain whipping air into oil - hauling oil out of the crankcase - added heat..... load force required to accelerate / decelerate a 3,500 RPM long chain vs belt - Porsche 944 Turbo / belt > lighter is...

Race Motorcycle valve springs - keepers - locks. I would talk with Byron Hines - send him a Fax with the sizes / data: VANCE & HINES MOTORSPORTS 1211 Northfield Drive, Brownsburg, IN 46112 Ph: 317.852.9057 Fx: 317.852.8954 Hours: 8:00 am - 5:00 pm (EST) [email protected]

The 'Heart' of this engine will be your Rod / Piston combo - and prep. You want THE lightest Rod / Piston combination available for a weight combination / RPM ceiling / HP ceiling - use Teflon Buttons rather than wrist pin clips - Venolia has them. Venolia makes the Lightest Forged High RPM...

Very 'Trick' block once completed - document the shop methods - will make great reading 'n reference. Pictures ~!

I read it in print - only one mention of it in over 9 hours of surfing the .net for data on the UR engines - totally bummed - as I don't like chain driven cam systems to begin with and now siamese'd cylinders...after three weeks studying Ford Cobra problems - overheating 'n hot spots being one...

Thicker is better - stays straighter - wicks off heat uniformly [somewhat]. Do they heat the blocks / chill the liners before installing or just cold press fit ?

Read the new 5.7 has 'Siamese'd ' cylinders - is this great ?:flowers1: the 4.7 to 2006 iron block isn't 'Siamese'd ' is it ? Is it my guess that Toyota did this to 'package' the timing chain ?

.... You two aren't Roadies for AC/DC by any chance........ ?

".........i don't FEEL tardy.........hmm" :rant: well.......again,... I CHOOSE 575HP because... as you move up the HP ladder - the WEIGHT of the connecting rod INCREASES...more HP = more rod Weight - and since I don't want to be spinning more WEIGHT on the lightened crankshaft than I...

http://tinyurl.com/ythzdk .....this'll cheer you up......:28:

1-2-3 choose Coming from a Detroit iron background - bore / stroke / torque make it all happen. That said - it's the 2UZ FE that is the chosen one - which - is the platform that Toyota chose to use in a Racing Program - so I've read. For a drop in swap - the complaints are 2: 1...

Great Pix Dave ! Setting one as Background on my Dell Monitor.......... Spent three weeks researching in the FORD Cobra Forums - glad to be back !

check the weights for given HP / RPM ceilings ARGO VS MANLEY: I chose 575HP since the weight per rod is low & run a weekend cruiser rather than a 'Blown Rail' pushing an imaginary 1,600 HP on street tires...@ $4.29 Gal. fuel... MANLEY has been turning out A-1 Top Fuel engine bits for decades -...

That translates as being a HP ceiling - the rod set will take 575 HP safely. There is a built in margin of sorts - running a lighter weight piston / wrist pin set helps keeping the engine together as well.

Bruce Crower - one of the founding Fathers of Ultra High Perf Mods whose career I grew up reading on. Having had a 1950 HUDSON as a 'street rod' - I was totally floored when he built a NASH OHV Straight Eight for The Bonneville Salt Flats...... He had alot of 'Firsts' as did ISKY - if you...

Dave is 100% correct - unless it is a Flat Top piston - with the same pin height - pin bore etc. - or - you're using Custom Length rods and you find a 'match' to your Combo - fahgeddabout it. The point I wanted to make is that there are Ring Paks that are available for the 1 UZ and 2 UZ since...

=engine Girdle= Those 'Girdle' pictures that would replace your Main Caps - and - would attach itself to the Oil Pan Rail as well - is the way to go if you're planning above say 800HP :Eyecrazy: - or - 1,400 HP Blown - at 'Insane' RPM levels - but you're past a 'street car'...

=engine Girdle= :hypnotized: That 'style' Engine Girdle is what the early 354-392 Chrysler 'HEMI' Top Fuel engine builders created - to 'cure' the exact type of failure you encountered - at virtually the same Power levels. Eventually, Ed Pink - Keith Black - Milodon Engineering...

=Engine Girdle= Yes - those 'holes' are cast in 'Windows' as it is termed - a weight consideration the Drafting Fathers built into the Design..... But..With the hell you Toyota HP freaks put these 'stock block' things thru - I'm surprised grenading isn't a common occurrence - it sure as...
