I'm running a 904, 7200 stall. Mono leafs and cal tracs. DA Viking shocks. I run clocks off so I don't care to share much more. Currently rebuilding my engine, it was getting tired after 5 years.
Hoping to get the suspension dialed in with the new build and run KOTS and some grudge racing.
When you rebuild it will you get new pistons with normal rings, or go with the super expensive rings?
Im pretty sure when my motor needs rebuild i will get a set of custom pistons with normal rings grooves. Either get them for boost or NOS.

I'm taking on the daunting task of building one of these up from a virgin block and a few parts (which everyone says I shouldn't do. I will be putting in a more normal piston and ring package with lower comp for a big turbo.

Sounds good mate. What size turbo are you going to use? Blow through or efi? The main and big end journals are a bit small.

I'm currently undecided on a block. I may go with an aluminum block, I'm waiting to hear back on what the specs of it are. If it is usable for what I want, I will go with that. Even if I use my current block or the other one I have laying here which are both iron. I would use a normal ring pack .043,.043, 3mm. Even if I used my old pistons, Eric at Rebco can open up the ring lands for under $250 for the whole set, so cost effective rings can be used. I've got about 10 sets of new and used pistons so no matter which way I go it'll get a more normal ring pack.

Since these are normally a very high reving engine and I assume a fairly short stroke... whats the longest arm you can fit in the block.. and of course.. can you find a long arm crank

I've seen a 3.73? and a 3.800. The guy that had them wanted stupid money for them so I passed since they were used. I called Winberg and they can make them in the 3k range. I've seen around 8-10, 3.55-3.58 on eBay. They usually went for a decent price, but at the time I wasn't looking to buy. I think a 4" is possible but you'd have to open up the cam tunnel for clearance.

The most stroke I have seen on EBay was 3.300. There was an engine for sale with more stroke. I missed the deal. It was a 388.
I started looking at a later date than R5P7 duster did. Message is they are gone.

If you look at Jeremy Combs fb page you can see one of manifolds cut in half.. Jeremy builds some of the baddest engines out their and why Extreme is his company name .. And yes BIG is better
