New build after a broken rod

October last year I managed to go 9.50s pretty consistent then I broke a rod. Punched 3 holes in the stock block and decided some major upgrades were due. I'll try to document the Build as I go. Parts are starting to come together pretty quick now.

Carnage from the broken rod



New 4.0 LC kenne bell replacing the 3.4 whipple.


Fore triple pump had and return system


Some safety equipment upgrades



Ice tank in the rear


New motor finally showed up. I went with a 2012 5.4 block sleeved by darton to a 3.7 bore. Will push me over the 5.8L displacement.




Cams are here too. I ported heads while they were off. I had to replace a valve so I decided to work them over completely.

Motor is fixing to head to Schexnayder racing to get cams degreed. I'll post some pics as it goes together. I replaced all timing components with best I could get. This thing is going to scream.

Man that thing is going to be a monster! What rods did you go with? Any more pics of the fuel system? I just ordered my Fore triple pump return fuel system last Friday and will be doing the install soon. Work looks great man!

Oliver billet I beams. I'll get some fuel system pics soon. I wired the controller in over the weekend as well.

Those Oliver rods are great.

I hope to test them hard but not find their limit. I'm a 6r80 car. Going to be the limitation of my power level. Shortblock was built for 2000 hp. I'm shooting for 1200-1300 rwhp with the set up on e85.

Looks like a nasty build OP, I'm sure it will easily be 1000+whp, are you going auto or staying 6 speed?

I'm a auto swapped 6r80 car. I had a Triangle speed shop set up using a 5.0 computer and some ingenuity on their end. This time I'm going back to the gt500 pcm with a quick 6 from bauman as a stand alone unit.

Impressive.

Awesome!

Nice build ! Im hoping to order my Quick6 soon. Been hearing good things about it. The starting in Second gear option should be a very nice deal for big HP cars or shity conditions aka street. Lol .

My Goodness!!

Very true. Some great ideas built in for big power guys.
It'll be a hard debate when I start my turbo built 5.2 based Coyote for True Street.
SFI cased T400 vs Quick6 6R....

I ordered my quick 6 yesterday. Should ship to me by Friday he said. I was told that at my power level I'll have to communicate with their engineer to get tune down for transmission. Luckily my tuner is a trans specialist as well.

Very interested to see how the 6r80 swap goes with the standalone.

Finally home in my possession. Dropping off once more to have cams degreed then bold this big blower on and get it in the car.

Looking good, that's a big step to getting her back on the road.
Did you do head porting? What the engine mods to put the 6R to the test?
Quick 6 should help control that beast.
Good luck.

Yes. Heads are ported. Engine is built for 2000 hp. 6r80 is built as well but I know it's time of survival is limited if I go above 1200 rwhp. I have a 4.0 liquid cooled KB. I got a little better deal on the renegade class blower. Most people purchase 4.2.
