Second build up from the short block

Got the intercooler mounted. I needed to cut out part of the center brace on the core support so I made a small side to side brace. Used my new rivet-nut tool to fasten it on, it’s handy!
I still have a bit more cutting and massaging to get the tubes into the engine bay.

I got the rear differential housing back from the fabrication shop and the front rotors from the machine shop. Should be a roller pretty soon! Daughters 16th Birthday weekend so no work getting done today. Soon...

Wow, there's been some great engine porn on here the past few months.

Pistons are dished like mine.

Then we’ll add psi!

Hey Gary, on your F (outside of axle flange to outside of housing end) measurement you have 2.5", my 8.8 is nowhere near that. Does your truck have something different or is that what the aftermarket brakes recommend?

That’s the required offset for the aftermarket brakes. I think yours will be close to 2”

New long block is completed and taking its first ride across the nation in the trailer of a yellow freight truck. Should arrive on Wednesday. I love that Innovators West dampener (engine is internally balanced) and billet timing pointer.

I think those exhaust ports are bigger than my headers! Might have to do some porting on my flanges.

Yes that’s about what I measured also depending on if you push the axle in or not (it has some play with the c-clip style).

So basically if you want to keep the stock wheel placement width and you are using the brake kit WIL-140-11389D then you will need to have 0.6875” trimmed from both sides when the H1137 ends are welded on.
Your housing will be 1.375” shorter overall to offset the extra 1/2” brake offset, and rotor thickness on each side.
The axle flanges will be the same measurement in the end.= 64.375 (with rotors installed)
New axle housing width is 59"

To use this brake kit the barrel of your wheel needs to be larger than 12" for the first 4.5 inches behind the mounting flange of your wheel.

Stories like this, and Chuck's adventure, makes me think I should get an order in for my next setup while my current one is still happy.

There are boat builders who are 1.5 to 2 years out on new builds, you have to put down a 10k deposit to be on the build list. Guys sell there spot on the list for 10k-??k depending on how far up the list they are.

I don’t know if the engine builder would allow it but It would be cool to sell your spot for 500-1000 on the engine list. I’m sure somebody with in 6 months will need one quickly and pay for it! In a few years you could have half of a short block paid for!
