whats the latest hot combo?
i hear people moving away from the 4.467 /4.150 bae deal but to what??

 

524 cid out of a -.500sd, saves quite a bit of weight as well!

is that a -500 bae block? whats the bore and stroke to make 524ci
do the heads still work same o ring size ect
thanks

 

so anyone out there know the spec of this combo? is it just weight or does it make more power?

help appreciated

 

it should be the same except for pin height and rod length ,somewhere around 1.30 and 6.80 i think.

 

4.467" x 4" short deck 501 Try it, you'll like it

 

interesting......thanks

 

4.150 crank
4.4675 bore
Some grinding has to be done on the block, new blocks come with it done. Rod length and/or pin height will not alter CID at all.

has someone here suggested that rod length and/or pin height WILL alter CID?

 

I would say Std hieght on the pin and a 6.700 length rod.

 

I hope not, but maybe that's Manzo's secret.

 

I had a Chevy with a 3.800 crank and 4.675 Chevy motor that made a 525 ci. It made the same power as a hemi up to 8000 and then a hemi took over , but the Gea was junk . It flowed only 315 cfm at 900 lift. Could a hemi ever bore that big? It was prob one of the only Chevy motors competive in ihra promod when 6.10 was #1 qualifier. I feel that motor today would be competive today with a real head. Maybe I'm off topic ?

 

CN Blocks can go to 4.800 I believe.

Bore

Brandon the bore centerline on a 426 block is 4.800

 

How is the bore distortion under high boost with a 4.467-4.500 bore and a 4.840'ish bore center motor?.........

I tough that it's not allowed to change the bore center line,
or can you just bore out the standard/-500 Brad/K.B. and have a
thicker sleeve made? Or are the 4.467 sleeve thicker already.
And why is this ( 4.4675 bore so odd? to me anyway
I have 4.500 sleeves, & pistons for K.B 10 block
What's the difference in a 10 to a 15 block ?
other than it's a billet?

 

bore

You could possible go to4.500 on a brad billet with the step sleeve but best talk to Brad first cant help on the K.B. Question.

 

The sleeve I have is one size from top to bottom,I'm told that they are for a K.B block, whats the deal on the step in the Brad block?

 

step

Bottom of the block material stays thicker in main web where its needed and the upper part of the sleeve is thicker to keep bore round by being thicker in the upper half.

 

I have some brad sleeves but there 4.375
I would like to know what the thickness of a brad 4.4675 sleeve is
the KB is only .090 it actually a darton. I'm not to inclined to using them.
