Performance • long winter project

Been working on a product, it's taken a bit of time to locate engine builders in my area willing to help with the machine work. Working between two shops it finally happened.

Block was sent out to https://cylindersupportsystem.com/ first to get the top plate installed. While I thought decking after installation would be included. If you their service ask a lot of questions.

New ford raptor crank was dropped off to be balanced at a another machine shop because the first machine shop couldn't balance a smaller cylinder crank (V8 powa shop).

The block was dropped off after getting it back from CCS
Deck work completed..
Manley rods and pistons with King bearings and Livernois(arp) main studs installed.

Heads had already been ported but when through them again to clean up and smooth out a bit more.
dropped them off to the machine shop to hot tank and deck again, install new guides and assemble and shim. Factory valve springs are being ditched for a set of Kelford bee hives.

Intake manifold will be upfitted with direct shot per cylinder water/meth system, intake manifold spacer.

Boost is from a set of ported Gearhead gen 3 turbos with ported 2nd gen factory cast manifolds.
