Now that everything is put away on the shelves, we move to the cleaning stages before the true machining work begins!

The block is ready for the CNC machines! We will be following the process of putting in our deck braces within the next week, stay tuned!

As we move into the next steps, we find ourselves in the machining area. Block is off the stand and ready to be put in the first machine. We have the deck braces, which are made of 6061 billet aluminum, ready for install!

is this the same as the one on the website that can handle 900hp? yes i have been looking at truck **** again lol. also what turbos are they going with to get 750-800. i have always said your race block with the full race ecobeast upgrade would be insane.

also am i wrong in thinking $20k would be enough to get into the 800-900hp range?

Yes it is very close, we are adding a few things extra for the customer like the dry sump oil pan and race balancer.

When it comes to the turbos, we are not sure what the customer will be using. We are simply building the motor and shipping it to them. From what they say, they will be involved in off-road racing and have their own special blend to make their power gains.

You will be needing more than $20k..

The block is mounted and ready to start the cutting process. We will start by making a shelf for the deck brace to sit on before it is trimmed.
