I am starting this thread up to document my progress into putting my car back together to break the stock 7-bolt record again. The car has already lost a few hundred pounds since its [email protected] and [email protected] runs down the track in June. Thanks to Force Engineering, the 2g stock 7-bolt long block I am using is in to get freshened up and they are going to perform some of their magic to the head as well!

Damn dude i dont know alot about cars but 2200cc injectors seem HUGE compared to others people talk about. Does bigger injectors= more fuel per cylinder = more poweR?
 
Hey hey hey! We will put pics of the engine build in this thread for ya Will. Should be able to post some pics tomorrow!
 
Damn dude i dont know alot about cars but 2200cc injectors seem HUGE compared to others people talk about. Does bigger injectors= more fuel per cylinder = more poweR?

More air = More demand for fuel = More power.

He may be running E85, which demands around a 1/3rd more fuel than standard gasoline.

I'm running 2150's in mine right now, making a little over 500whp on E85 and I'm at 60% duty cycle LOL.

If he is running standard gas it's way over kill seeing as those injectors can handle way more power than a stock 7 bolt will :thumb:
 
I'll be on E85 this time. Before, I was on Q16 with 1000cc injectors. The car in its previous trim, it was probably making in the ballpark of 560-580 at the wheels. Sounds good, John. Can't wait to see it all come together!
 
Can't wait to see you break a few new records :)
 
Bad news bears from us @ Force Engineering. It seems like Will will use all of his luck at the track as the core engine he sent to us is junk. It must has spun a main bearing in its life and the heat distorted the girdle causing a low amount of press. So with this being said we have a core block here but it will be using oversized OE pistons as the block was already bored before. Unless someone gets butt hurt over the idea of not using a factory bore size then I will be starting to work on this engine today.
 
Not butt hurt here :p...aside from the fact that I can't seem to catch a break as of late.
 
2031.3 CC engine. It less than 2% bigger than a factory unbored 4g63. I think we can live that LOL..

Stock internals, bearings, and hardware constitutes a stock block in my mind. The extra displacement won't make a bit of difference.
 
Well we going to stay .020 over. The wall is straight enough to keep it at that. Here is some pictures of what has happened as of this morning.

Here is the block he sent us that ended up junk-

Now I am about to torque plate hone it and deck it. More pictures to come.
 
Got started on the head today. Our process goes like this:

Disassemble
Hot-Tank
Guides
Valve job
Unshrouding valves
port-work
decking
cleaning
assembly

So far I've got the head apart, new guides installed and sized. Our 3 angle valve job, and valves unshrouded with our custom cutter. Valves are all cut to the same height (within .003in.).

Rods are getting reconditioned, then the block will be going together. Valves are on there way also.
