I ordered a world merlin block, BBC, and it arrived today, its sweet with 4.49 inch bore and as soon as I figure out how big the stroke is im ordering an Eagle rotating assembly with Mahle coated pistons, 13.5 compression.
im not sure if the nv4500 is strong enough for about 900 hp so im thinking about the deuce tranny, has anyone ran a combo like this before? probably a deuce transfer case and five ton axles and 53 inch tires.
