New 598 build, mud racing

Hey all, finally getting started on sons new engine. New eliminator ultra block, Lem spec tfs 360 cc a460 heads, diamond dome pistons- 14.3/14.4 comp. Ts ap rings 43/43/3mm. 4.6 bore. Ordering GRP rods Fri. Then hopefully Callie's magnum crank next month. Then a lot of little things that add up guick. Looking at ww or td shaft rockers. They both look good, one piece int stands. Do you guys have a preference and why? Thanks cory

Got the new connecting rods ordered this morning. Talked with Woody at grp. Answered all my questions . Got their 5301 rod with bulbed pin end. 6.7 length/.990 pin bore and arp 2000 rod bolts. Should have them in 3 weeks. Getting closer to a complete engine. Thanks cory

What engine specs/parameters caused you to go with an aluminum rod instead of a steel rod?

We plan to hit it with around a 400 shot of spray. And we will tear down and inspect everything every 30 or so passes. Liked the idea of a little shock absorbing with the alum rod. Cory

Called Callie's yesterday, and got the crankshaft ordered. 4.5 stroke magnum, glad I called, they won't have forgings for 2 weeks. Be around Xmas before we get it. Oh well we need a lot of other parts as well. Thanks cory

Hey all, parts pile is getting bigger. Woody from grp called and our new rods are on the way!!! 5301 series 6.7 long , .990 pin, and 2.375 big end. Arp 2000 bolts. Now waiting on crank. Thanks cory

Hey all, we got one of Lem's custom pans on the way. Can't wait to see it up close. The parts are piling up. The price is more than reasonable. You can't beat dealing with Lem for bbf go fast parts. Thanks cory

A little update, intake showed up the other day. Tfs A460 single quad. Planning on getting it ported. Getting closer. Thanks cory

Well Xmas was a little late this year. Our new custom pan assembly came today. Looks awesome, should do the job nicely. Thanks to Lem!!!! Now if we get the crankshaft we can head to the machine shop!! It's still on backorder at Callie's.. thanks cory
