So now that I have pistons, rods, rings, bearings... I need to get a crank coming. I’m looking at a Crower but I’m not sure if it’ll be a 4340 forged or billet. One thing is for sure, it’s not lightweight with a bobweight of 2627g.
 
I went with a for smaller bore and bigger stroke.Leaves more in the hole for next time.

It not "IF",,,,,,,it's when:popcorn2:

This block was 4.495 with a questionable hone and some surface rust specs. I ordered the pistons for 4.50 bore and will be honing it. I’m going to be using the Holley Dominator EFI and have a bit of a learning curve as most of my experience is with older systems on NA engines. I’ve destroyed all kinds of parts over the years, hoping to avoid that with this engine.
 
Some of the M blocks can go to 4.5 bore before sleeving is needed.I don't want to EVER sleeve a block.Right now I'm qt 4.380 and room to grow.

I sonic tested my iron M block in my other car and it can go 4.400 but I doubt it ever does. It’s at 4.350 now. This engine is an aluminum world products block.
 
Those are some big wastegates!
They’re 66mm gates. This combo will spool quick with the big cube/small turbo combo. Keeping boost accurate at low levels and high back pressure requires big gates. It also puts the right equipment in place for larger turbos once I get a handle on this thing with these little 76’s.
 
I need to come over some weekend to view this beauty!
