Joe Hey Joe, Any rough idea of what these will cost? I have a bit of cash at the moment, and am deciding whether to wait and get one of these, or throwing the $$$ at my other car Cheers Chris

The one that up & running is a later block & these cranks are hollow but with all the maching involved I dont trust it especially when boost will be apllied, this is why I need to make these new cranks obviasly when they come back they will all be a tested thoughly.....so this is where I am !! 2 options avaliable....... wait for me to get cashed up, this is still after we move premisis... or investors needed to keep going ??? this is a one of a kind project that I've had heaps of support from you guys.... E series & AU owners have been pushed aside with all of the go fast bits going to the B series guys (& I dont have anything against them) its just call better technoligy or progress eg: twin cam head, dual vct & edits so your comments good or bad will be apreciated thanks Joe well Joe I have looked into this a bit and can only come up with this combo... the 4.8L crank out off an F100 or a Canadian truck motor with them rods with EA pistons...... I can't think of any other combos but could you tell me if I'm in the right ball park????? and have you got any power figures or pricing....... Thanks mate Charlie |

sorry guy's havent had a chance to reply to all of the emails that are probably pilling up but telstra still havent got my phone lines sorted out f***k wits...!! due to the move, but with the stroker yes I looked at the 300 cube crank way to much maching involved in the blocks, the 4.8ltr will work out easlier with the right crank /rod combo when the funds are available, but with the 4.5 ltr all of the parts that I require are basicly off the shelf, 2 are in progress just waiting for more funds to continue.....due to the workshop relocation things are going a bit slow but that will get sorted out soon.
thanks Joe |

ok, I have 3x 4.5ltrs in progress one will be finished in 2 weeks & the others are pending payment for further progress..... the 4.8 ltrs are on hold due to lack of funds as when I relocated the workshop I used more $$ than expected, as with the 4.8, these motors will have custom made cranks & rods & yes they will be good for boosted aplication.......
I will have a final figure for the 4.5 by the end of this week.........also these engines will only be sold as a long motor..... no kit...... & no sub assembely...... they will all have a min of a stage 3 head & either a stage 3 cam or a 2a if its a auto, I build it I warrant it The 4.5ltr will be 9:8:1 comp & tunning would be recomened either with a j3..... SCT switch chip or a piggy back of some sort to get the best out of it... as for the test mule its still running around but due to having s/hand auto's fitted dyno testing wasn't acurate thanks Joe |

I sent an engine to perth aprox 3 weeks ago & it weighed around 190kg I made a create for it & the owner had organised the transport, it was fairly cheap compaired to some of the other freight companies I think is was $250 ish......... I can ask who he used to make sure.....so in shipping these engine it will not be a problem. Joe |

the 4.5 is stroked but not to extent of the 4.8....... as for the 4.5 I do not recomend that this engine be forced inducted.......
