just wondering wondering wat process did u use to install them..
And wat kinda tap did u use to thread the holes.

 

check this out lol did this awhile ago.

 

Im not against anything any one has told me
here is a cross section i have of the back holes in a gen2 block.
One is 1/2-13 the other is the 12mm stock size..

There is only .7mm or .027 difference from 12mm to 1/2

 

there is so much winning in this thread. LOL, that block with those head studs should keep the gasket from failing, i know gm o-ring the cyl when they went over 800 hp but this setup with these head studs sans head gasket should hold to whatever you want to throw at it. I thought I was building my block for more power but you sir are building a tank.

 

Lol ya i cut apart a good block to get a cross section look at these blocks..

I want to do a gen 1 to compare...

U get urs running

 

It was Alexx motor. It died a hard death at 347 whp, TVS. I did not install the studs. The motor was pretty much scrap.

 

nice picture. thats a lot of work to cut it like that , good for you! Can you show the bell housing end so we can see what material is left? thanks

 

Sure

 

here is a lil engine i just finished building all that's left is to take it into the dyno room.lol

its a 40.8 liter engine..lol

 

 

Now thats a saw! lol
thanks for the piktar.

 

That's our lil one the big one can take a 10 foot cut..

I work in a big boys machine shop.. Takin stuff and making it better is wat i do for a living...mainly engines..

 

I think Alexx block was done by JBP who are less than stellar by rep and when I went there on behalf of rwd victory red a few years ago, i found it was a sad place.

But I still am not sure that larger studs are needed, but good luck to your project. I am confident you will do a really top notch job. Not at all like the one we had to fix for an unfortunate customer.

 

Gm did it without a problem so i figured there is a specific way to do it..it dose involve a lil bit of money for the first one.

Im gona make a thread with most of my findings in these cross sections of a gen 2 block..
Hoping for a sticky!!!!!

Thats another subject i haven't seen a section for that talk yet...lol

 

Look at that baby turbo!

 

Ya lol there'd only 4 of them

 

Interesting. I'm in the middle of debugging a robotic cell we made that faces the clutch plates at the Boonville hpmp plant.

 

oh wow I didn't see the others

 

I was still waiting on them. 2 on eather side...
That engine is like 6 feet tall.
Puts out 1500hp and 2700tq @2250 rpm not to bad.
Im working on another that even more than that like 3 times that.

 

Arp oil pan bolts anyone...lol

 

bolted up my spare header flange and look at all the room there is..lol lots more to do..

Here is most of the part for the 2.4.

 

What's the Trans cooler for?

 

Naws!!! :d
