Rodeck Parts

Rodeck was bought out by alan Johnson so call his business. 805/922/8532.

 

correct me if I am wrong but , the 481T block is NO LONGER produced as we have two of the late series 481T's with the spayed mains in our TAF

 

you are probably right my block is quite old but works o.k

Whatever you need you are going to have to buy used or make yourself. About the only thing you may be able to buy new, is studs.
When you say "sump rubbers" are you refering to pan gaskets? If so you will have to make them yourself.

you can use 5/8 in. of silicone sealer, thats what we use to seal the ends of our pan

since nobody has yet said it a 481T is just an aluminum copy of a BBC truck block and anything that was made for a BBC fits this aluminium block.

To years ago we had to get a new set of Main caps the one that came with the block 25 or so years ago finally broke. We did the burnout and was staging and turned the Nitrous on and the fuel pump wire had a short and killed the motor, that was our last race so we pulled the motor and was tearing it down for a fresh up and the 3 center mains were broke it 3 places each. We had to have head studs made for it when we put the big duke heads on last year. Man those thing are really long.
