Hey Mr. Russell
Where you been?, i've been meaning to ask you what do you recomment for piston clearance, on a street driven 406" forged 2618 mat'l piston that will probablly not see more than 7200 RPM. I've got .006 but i think .0045/.005 would have been better. Hopefully i can keep it cool no blk. filler.
Right on, i'm building one right now, 406" flattops, eagle 4340 forged crank, 2618 alum. forged flat tops, 5.565 (h) beams and track 1 heads, 850 DP'er, 1.76 PG with pro brake, for my prostreet 1998 stepside Sonoma, i think about 2800 lbs. I believe i can drive it to sonic and the track and run 10.50's with street slicks.
