Trilogy Marauder - DRAGCITY

PEEKABOO

Connecting rod through the block under the right side motor mount.

Yes, I had the rear cooling mod.

Intercooler pumping with key on.

It's time was up. 11 years of supercharged fun. I have a Teksid engine to break down and build up.

The transmission has been needing a rebuild for 5 years now, everything has 135,000 spirited miles on it. Time for a reset.
 
I am searching for a forged rotating assy. I would like a Kellogg crank, I think. You all have done this before, so I am open to suggestions and recommendations. I would love to get after those pesky Hellcats. It will likely require a late shot of Nitrous. I have a terrible traction issue.
 
Let me know when you find a decent deal or even a sure thing on a forged short block and bring back two. LOL. I have been searching on and off for 3 year's. Good luck!
 
I have that Teksid block. Ill be building from scratch. Still need to chec the bores though. Stroke, or no stroke?
 
Ford Motorsports all forged stroker 5.3 shortblock.... warranty and good parts built for boost... DONE!
 
Joe,
Built my 5.3 stroker with Manley crank & rods using a Boss 5.0 block. Could not justify spending $4000 putting sleeves in a stock block & wanted to build the biggest stroker motor I could. Paid $1500 for the Boss block. Any way you do it prepare to spend some coin. Coming from foxbody 5.0 world myself I was stunned at what it cost to put one of these things together. Could have built 3 comparable 302's for what I spent on this engine.
 
i have not yet seen this sort of thing. A few more days and I should have the broken engine out. It's going to be a long road.

What a piston ring is doing in the valley is beyond me, but I'm sure it is an interesting mess inside the crank case.
