Looks like CH5728AFJB4-A, they come with arp 2000 bolts. Great piece and will be plenty for any of us lol. Tell them cmiller(Chris) sent you

 

when you get the beast done, let me know. we will head straight to dragway 42. lol.

 

thanks, I'm already collecting parts.

 

It will be ready for springtime.

 

I have to drop the crank off to get balanced on Saturday so today I took the block apart the rest of the way. Crank and rod bearings also look like new still so all is good.

 

nice, i remember taking my crank out.. lol glad its all back together

 

howd you get the top trans bolts out without the fuse box out of the way lol, that must have been a bitch.... doesnt take long to undo the box, then you can hit them with an 1/2" impact

 

I unbolted the box and then lifted it up about 10 inches and it was wide open.

 

Not yet its not. This Saturday is when I am having the crank done.

 

this is awesome. i want to do this to mine in the next year or so.

 

Looks very clean, what oil where you using?

I guess that Saab had something to do with this crank?

Is the bottom end bolts or studs?

Oh, and when you head to Dragway 42, let me know. I live about 10 minutes from there!!!

 

Ran amsoil5w30 for awhile, but switched back to mobil1. I will be using mobil1 from now on. I will make a couple trips maybe to 42, but it's just to much a **** hole from what I here. I guess I am just spoiled from Norwalk lol.

 

come on miller, don't start with that **** again. lol.

 

LOL. Have you seen the thread on the ced meet? I would like to go. I was going to talk to you about it and see if you would wanna roll. Its in Chicago I think and last 3 days. And you may have heard about the engine builder. Ballard Racing Engines, been around for awhile and builds drag motors as well.

 

80 miles from me, I might go this year. I think I'm over the age limit though. You guys'd be callin' me Gramps.

 

ballard builds some good engines i have seen quite a few cars with engines from them around my local track which is quaker city..if it is the same guy its a lot of v8s

 

Yea he does mostly V8 sprint car motors. But started with drag motors back in the day. He is my friends uncle and live about 10 miles away. If he dont mind I will snap a couple pics of his shop. Its huge lol.

 

Only if you want me to lol.

 

i love big shops haha im lucky to have a father obsessed with cars so we have a 20x24 paint booth attached to a 100x80 garage and then like half a mile away a 22x50 garage with 5 garage doors to store cars

 

Nice we are looking at a 40x72 building with 2.5 acres right now.

 

thats a really good size and trust me buy a lift it makes everything so much easier but im sure u already know that

 

i have not seen it. when is it? what is chicago, 8-9 hour drive? damn.

 

i feel the same way. i would probably have to call you dad though.
lol.

 

is this the crank that came out of your engine? Do you think it would be out of balance?

 

Yea it came out of my motor. And I bet it will be out of balance. The pistons are lighter and the rods are about the same as stock. Even if its just a little at 8000rpms it turns into alot lol. And I am only getting charged 150.00 for balance, and he is going to help me figure out the bearing sizes, but I think a stock set will be perfect, considering the wear is virtually none.
