Hello everyone,
I have finally gotten the engine out of my truck and have now removed the pan. The engine is a D4TE reverse 105 block. I can fit a 14/64 drill bit between the bores in some places but not in others. I cannot fit a 16/64 anywhere. Also, I have heard reference to reinforced main webbing on some of these blocks, Does it look like what you see in this picture. Also, it must have been rebuilt at some time because the rods have the C6AE part number. The engine was in the truck when I bought it and still ran pretty strong. But I have no idea of its history.
1. I am curious to know whether or not this is a good candidate for sonic testing? and
2. What kind of cam and intake reccomendations can you all make for the following project?
Engine will be going into a 69 Cougar XR7 convertible with a C6 and a 3.70 trac-lok. I have a set of mildly exhaust ported C7AE heads that I plan to use with headers and dual 2.5" exhaust through Dyno max superturbos. I already have the headers, trans, rear, radiator and exhaust. As well as a Demon 625 carb. I would like to build a stoplight racer that will still be well mannered enough for the sunday morning cruise. What is the max horsepower I can expect to get from the C7AE heads, while still operating between idle and 5500? If the engine will go to 4.13 I plan to use a 428 crank. I already have a 428 flywheel, so the swap should not be that hard. Any and all ideas are welcome! Sorry for the long post, but you guys always give such good info I fugured I'd ask all my questions at once.
Paul G.
