    First of yes im a newby so bear with me,i need a new Hemi combo for a procharged application,not worked with Hemi motors before,always Chevy mainly,got to say like the look of the Hemi design wise,ive herd lots of stuff like you cant make a ex fuel motor run good on alki,so heres what ive got TFX 2000 SOLID BLOCK +100 deck 4.187 bore with stage 3 ajpe heads,stage5 rocker gear winberg crank on a 3" main,gonna be running hogan intake with 16 injector setup,35/40lbs of boost, head chambers are 171cc,gonna need rods pistons and valve train hardware,what are the does and donts of running with this type of motor,ie from fuel to alcohol,will the crank balance out ok as there alot of weight on the throws,gonna be building this motor myself,want to build it right the first time,are there issues with oiling the lifters,want to try and keep it as mantainance friendly as possible,is there an advantage going to a larger bore size,want to make 2600/3000hp,any input would be much appreciated,its going in a 67 camaro outlaw street car.
    Thanks in advance Marc..:cool:

    What Dave said, assuming the crank was balanced for fuel pistons, you're probably going to have to add some Mallory metal, fuel pistons are about 100-125 grams lighter than an alky piston for a 170cc head. Bigger bore is not as critical on a Hemi as it is on a BBC since the valves point toward the center of the bore and valve shrouding is pretty much limited to the first .100" of lift, not a big deal with a blower. I'm a little confused, you said you had Stage V rocker gear and then said you needed valve train hardware, just missing pieces? Are you running a heads up deal, if so, the fuel heads aren't ideal as they need a bigger (heavier) dome to get the compression, but otherwise you can make some decent HP with them.
