So I think I blew my motor today

[wickedblkgt]

Yesterday I was putting a hurting on a c6 and I noticed a knock. Today I did an oil change, and sure enough there were shavings in the oil. what's everyone's thoughts on a new engine combo? I'm looking for over 600hp. MMR, DSS( if they even make a short block for a 2v), or go a different route 03 cobra, Mach 1, Teksid? Might even spend some money on some TF heads and some blower cams. I would like to be closer to 700hp.

Teskid, Cobra crank, good rods and pistons, beat the hell out of it and it asks for more. The later WAP blocks are just as strong and cheaper, find one from an explorer.

[wickedblkgt]

what kind of HP?

[wickedblkgt]

I herd HPP built a 700hp 2v?

[Whiteboy]

4v all the way

Stay the hell away from MMR.

LS1 fools.

Stay the hell away from dss. Last shortblock I bought from them, the ring gap was not set and it popped the top ringlands off 3 pistons

Lol, sounds about right for dss.

If you have Facebook look up Justin Humphrey in Weatherford texas. He does builds in his shop and is extremely good at it. He's built his car(2v) and it's a BEAST!

The block will hold the power you want, you just need to put forged internals in it. A set of heads would be a good idea, nice turbo cams and throw a 76mm on it. You will make 700hp with that combo. If you want to go higher, put a set of 4v heads on it. I had a 2v with an f1a so I know the power you want is obtainable through a 2v, but you will always make less than you would if you went 4v. Call Clint at TrueSteet and he can point you in the right direction.

This!

Ask Aggie about that coyote swap lol. I bought his old race engine and in drag trim it makes 370rwhp. It's a big bore, high compression 2v though. If you have the supporting hardware for a decent power 2v already, just go back. Decent compression, trick flow heads, stage 3 cams and boost will put it in the neighborhood of 700rwhp.

I always order my own parts and get machine work/ assembly done locally if I don't have the time to assemble it myself.

That being said, when I had my blown 2v, I always planned on a 10:1 forged engine, on e85 so I wouldn't have to upgrade to the t-trim blower. You have to upgrade the fuel system anyways for high hp so regardless. Just this way you can still make 600-700 hp without upgrading the blower.

But you still should upgrade the heads and cams to hit those numbers, cams at the very least. At least that is what my last engine builder said that was the bottleneck in the 2v set up. He was a builder at Houston performance

But when my second 2v went south I yanked it, put a 2v truck long block in it from a wrecked f150, sold the car, and got a 4v.
