    1000 hp build write up

    Pretty much so they beefed up the Late blocks but not nearly enough if you're shooting for sustained 4 figure outputs.(even for intermittent use it's sketchy)

    1000 hp build write up

    LOL "new" 7M blocks aren't really new now are they ;) There's minimal movement in a new block compared to a "green" block (one that's a few months to a year old) No matter how good or seasoned a 7M block is it's still a big long wet noodle.

    Shifting Auto trans....

    Fluid coupling(Tq Converter) slips so there's no direct connection. it "might" wear the clutches in the trans a little more as you're at 0 throttle so there's minimal line pressure and they'll slip as well.

    1000 hp build write up

    Rich: I think I'd be more comfortable with a one piece Steel Main Cap and Girdle assembly and maybe L19 hardware throughout if I was going for 1krwhp sustained. Add to that Dry Sumping with a dedicated Vacc pump for the crankcase to pull vacc at all times. As I said earlier I see a LOT of...

    Ways to cure 7M oiling issues

    NOT 12mm...... :nono: 5mm max and it's in the relief valve on the Oil pump inside the Pan. On a GTE there's a 2nd one in the Cooler Bypass valve that needs to be shimmed the same amount. (some NA's have this as well on a block fitting)

    1000 hp build write up

    My Motor is built much the same as Gary's motor in his rail so in theory "could" make 1000hp with the right supporting mods. Would I try it? HELL NO! I know how much stress and deflection there is in a 7M at a sustained 500rwhp and I consider Rich's "list" to be a nice starting point...

    1000 hp build write up

    If someone asked me to spec a 1000hp 7M first thing I'd do would be ask to see some bank statements and wage slips so I could be sure they're NOT a dreamer and wasting my time..... :nono:

    Are you a certified welder?

    Poodles: It's the same even if you get to build em. (worked as a race fabricator back in the 80's with a HUGE budget) It's all just a job.
