Is our v6 block aluminum or cast aluminum?

 

Not only that dye check the heads and the block and check for cracks then you can get a grinder with a wire brush and buff it all down

 

Cast. They don't CNC blocks.

 

So is the cast aluminum block

 

Its*

 

That's not paint, that's dykem. And that super coupe engine is cast iron

 

That's just the rough start. We're facing the top of the block so it's a clean meet with the heads. The block is being boiled, mangafluxed and boared out next Friday!

 

If you were to machine out a block it would take a long time, at least 15 different tools, and at least 6 different ops if you didn't have a 5 axis and dove tail the bottom. Creating a mold for the cast iron is wayyyy faster and more efficient!

 

That's awesome

 

Ordered a Tremec T-5 manual transmission today for the build.

 

Here's the transmission!

 

Cool

 

Do you have pictures of engine build progress?

 

We're still at the same place. Friday it gets boared out, boiled, and faced. Then the build begins.

 

 

Lol I watched that a few months ago

 

Sold the tranny and decided to get a 4 speed shift kit. What kind should I get? I can't decide.

 

American muscle sells a shift kit

 

I don't think it's a 4 speed though

 

The stock tranny?
