ok
i havent updated this in a while and with the addition of the lq4 added to my shop i thought i would share the current plans for the build
i purchased an lq4 off the list of craig for $350,
after doing much reading/ research and talking to some of the guys here and on pt.net i decided the low compression lq4 just isnt gonna cut it for me.
those that know me real well know that im not a FI kinda guy and the NA power potential just isnt there with the lq4.
so the plans are to get the block to the machine shop and see how uch they need to bore it, and then i will be in the market for a rotating assembly.
gonna go 4" stroke and whatever the bore needs to be, im gonna assume by looking at the piston walls it wont be over .030 over, as ive seen much worse that only needed .030 so i assume i will be building somewhere close to a 408cu, i want somewhere in the 11:1-11:7 compression ratio range
the engine will the get a set of worked L92 heads
i would like to see 475+ to the wheels NA, but we'll see what happens, this will be a long build as im a broke college student, but i hope it will all be worth it in the end.
current build pics...not much
in the disassemble stage right now
