Getting there - Ute 45ci stroker build.

[MyM8V8]

457 cu in LS2 stroker build into Maloo.

Looks like I may not be getting there (Vasteras)now due to the injectors and fuel rails fouling the coil pack inputs.

Hmmmm - looking good though!

Could you not just run stock valve covers for now and not relocate coils

[jameshsv]

just wondering what heads do you have fitted.

Nice. Where's the blower go?

Pure engine porn

Any more details of the build?

[S800VXR]

Nice totally free flowing intake... Reminds me of yrs Wormus!

Anyhow, you know the issue so leave the pub for a night and get the problem sorted.....

[gsd2000]

You still need an ITB setup

[ArnieVXR]

So is the extra three cubic inches just there to upset Stick100?

Nice build

Exactly. Just use the stock covers!? Or do they foul the rockers or something?

Trickflow 245's.

[gsd2000]

If your rockers might hit I have some yella terra valve cover gaskets which give more clearance for rockers

Ive got a set of standard ones to and as I dont have roller rockers I should be fine

But it will make it to sweden and then you can tidy it up when you get back

If I can get the fuel pump done and mapped too in the time I have spare in June. (might have to give PVS a miss too)

Nice list there Gareth - should go pretty well!!!! I might have to dust off my 502 project dossier at some point!!

Looking good Gareth what 1/4 times are you aiming for now?

[ringram]

Wow I didnt realise it was a 4.25 throw. Plenty of room to open it out wider too.

Are you sure its only 4.125 as that comes out at 454. 4.135 comes out at 457?

Nice stall speed too. Thats going to be spastic on the street. Opposite lock FTW!

Leather, 502 you will need an RHS tall deck block with 4.6 crank and 4.165. Also power in these engines doesnt seem much different to a 454 but you pay way over the odds. Id stick with a 454 and spend some extra cash on the heads and valvetrain
Loads of LS7 type heads flowing around 450cfm from Mast, Edelbrock LSR, Brodix etc.

"At .900 lift, they flow 458 CFM on the intake and 281 CFM on the exhaust and easily support 1,000HP + NA horsepower!"

Not a street head though!

You need to get yours running for Sweden Gareth Let me know if you need a hand one weekend!
