Re: 3.5 Build up thread

sounds awesome man...

i thought that when you balance the crankshaft...that you are matching the counterweights to the weights of the pistons/rods so that the entire assembly is balanced...:thinking:....guess my question is how are they gonna balance it if you haven't got the pistons/rods yet?

Re: 3.5 Build up thread

mmm. dont the RL pistons have a higher cr? like 11.1:1 or something like that? that would seem to make sense if you're going na.

good luck with the build!

Re: 3.5 Build up thread

im building it with intent to boost which is why im prob gona stay with the CL pistons.. the block and crnak is just sitting there waiting on word back from whoever is gona get me these forged parts.


im even buying new **** like new rad hoses and rad brackets. CSF or whatever makes a nice aluminum rad for 350.
