Block Q

V895

All Moter Whore
I have a 95 Tonwanda 4.3 block with the revised balnce shaft. Will it be a good fondation for a turbo engine?

It has:
20 over bore-Fresh
Magnafluxed
oil cooler
Bigger cam bearing it the front and rear then the Romuluse engine

Down falls:
Two bolt main ( have to make it a four bolt)
have to have it line bored to accept 350 chevy main bearings
Single roller chain

I plan on building a Clone engine for my 95 and building it up some ( 3.75 stroker crank, 6" rods, forged pistons, custom cam, built Vortech heads, ect.) I have been reading up on the syclone/typhoon engines as much as I can and have picked up the book Maximum Boost and have read it twice to better understand boosted engines. From what I have been told the the block I have is strong and was very hard to bore since the engine went south it has set for a year seasoning it the shed. I think it will work but I feel I needed to see what the stock blocks were befor I start dumping $8,000 into a domed block. Any input on this will be greatly apriecated. :dunno:

Re: Block Q

the bal shaft blocks are good but if you want to make the most power then when have that extra shaft spinning around and taking up oil from the rest of the motor. there is nothing wrong with those engines but if your trying to build a stroker motor then just use a std 4.3 LB4 block. you wont have to worry about the different cam snout either.
