You also ran faster times with your M62 setup than most of the 300whp+ turbo guys on here....

 

ssshhh although that is true as well

 

Hmm they were tellin me all i would need is a modfied flywheel and to clock it on the crank corectly

 

Well...

Hmm
Zzp sells the crank modified for it already so if i cant do it isnt very expensive to buy.
Thanks for the info.

 

correct you are even when done properly the block still cracks because there isent enough meat to support a 1/2in stud that is another reason gm went with the uni bolt studded blocks

 

Hmm ok ill take that into consideration.
Thanks

 

Well i decided to do the zzp girdled block. Cuz i couldnt find a cnc shop that would do the job.

 

Not a bad idea. Are you having them build the complete engine?

 

I will...I have faith in them. But rather say I built my beast

 

zzp has someone else build the engines they dont do it

 

does anybody have more details/pics of the girdle process?

I saw the pics from the board member who bought one from ZZP, it appears the process ends at least, with welding the deck closed and milling the deck.

does anybody know what it looks like under the deck?

I'm assuming there's a press fit ring that goes into the water jacket?

 

ask zzp

 

Some people believe they machine a plate to the exact size down to the thousands of an inch and press it into the block.

Some people believe they fill the block.

This is a common way people fill blocks.

diy filled b series block, with writeup, comments welcome - Honda-Tech

Only ZZP knows...

 

they cnc cut the top of the block open to match the cnc cut plate that fits in the top of the block then it is tig welded together and then decked to a higher finish standard then gm requires

 

That was wat i was gona do my self buy the cnc machine at my school is a lil to small to do the job and all the shops close to me didnt seem up to it..ill post up some pics wen the block gets here.

 

Look wat i found in my garage last night..

 

were is the crank

 

Still witing on it..along with the wiseco pistons

 

And the girdle isn't welded in and the surface finishes is worse than gms spec

 

click

 

you wouldent be able to see the welds it after it was milled and the 2 ive seen had realy slick and shiny surface you may need to question them on the finish mill

 

i can see the machine lines around the girdle...like the way i was gona do it...cnc machine it out and machine a plate to press in.
Im a machines for CAT. and anyone good with a grinder could have surfaces this..its like they did it with a dull cutter.hmm ill defiantly have to ask them about it

 

yea most ive seen have had a better surface than that

 

ah so this is what you were telling me about! This looks sick...in for results!
