As some of you may know I've slowly been building an F22b1.

This wkend kinda put me well into the finishing stages. It started with the machine shop friday. Asked them about balancing internals and they said they had to have the clutch, pressure plate and flywheel. Well I only have one ACT and UR flywheel so....







Heres whats going in







All new bearings are in and plasti gauged. New oil pump. New water pump. New timing belts, tensioners, and pulleys.

For the balancing they needed the pistons, wrist pins, retaining clips, rods w/bolts, crank, crank pulley w/key, flywheel, clutch disc, and pressure plate w/ bolts. $120 to balance everything. Bad new is hes got two race engines in front of mine so itll be a week or so.

Just an update for those who are interested.

blueprint & balance?

 

Sweet. If you do it right you might be one of the few people Morgan respects.

 

The block was honed to the piston size by GE.

I personally filed all the rings (top .020", mid .015").

All rod and main bearings (new) plastigauged and within spec.

Crank end play <.001" and journals micropolished by me.

So kind of.

 

What are your overall plans? and looks very good! i whish i could do something like that!
What Limited slip is that?
to you, hope everything goes the way planned.

 

Its a quaife.

Goal is to make it run. First build for me.

Seriously...dont think the t3/to4b will put out more than 350 but want 300whp to start.

Need to get it running first.

 

IMO 300WHP is a lot, i guess it would be a good average between power and reliability for that engine, BTW what are you going to do with the balance shaft? take it off?

anyway, Good luck

 

300 WHP with correctly tuned setup seems feasible and it should be sturdy enough to handle some boost

a goal of getting it to run first is a very sensible and logical one

 

I'm <50 hp away from 300 with the stock block. I not only think its feasible, it'll be a starting point.

I'll run out of turbo before the engine has any problem.

 

nice what comp pistons did you get.. i remember that pic youve had those for some time eh?

 

8.8:1. Yeah GE had my block for 5 weeks.

 

Are you using a OEM type turbo manifold/exhaust manifold gasket?

 

Yeah, reused the stock one. I put antiseize on the nuts and some of them were backing out on me looks like. Never heard any leaks or had trouble with building boost.

 

dont die anytime soon, i'll prolly need your help when I come back from school this summer with all of my goodies.......

 

[puts the cigarette out]ok[/puts the cigarette out]

 

yah imma need to borrow your life....er..tools...since you have every tool ever made it looks like too lol.

hmm IL so ill meet you there brian? lol

 

damn....you have been busy. loosk nice.

 

Keep up the good work.

 

Good to see my intake manifold and tranny (if its mine) put to good use!

 

thanks for the update

 

Stupendous.

Looks great man, after you get it running get that thing to the dyno plzzzzzzz!

 

Thanks for all the input. At the mercy of the balancin shop for now

 

Damn, why do I get excited about these projects? Good Luck

 

looking faster and faster


so what engine do you have in the CL right now? the stock one, or did you buy another fmax kit?

i wish you would post this on a-cl so you could get peoples minds off gauges and exhaust for a quick second.


edit: nevermind....... i see the built block sitting in the box.

Hey sweet setup mang. I would love to see what numbers a SOHC can put out when built to **** and brought to the max.. Please keep us updated when you get everything back from the machine shop..
