Silverbullet Trooper Build

[silverbullet]

well we have finally started tear down on our new shop project vehicle sent to us from Utah. we will be posting pictures and tutorials as we go. for now motors is getting machined to be able to take a set of our 9.0-1 compression pistons with the teflon coating on the skirts

[showa]

Look forward to seeing this come together...

9.0-1 pistons are now in these will have the teflon coating on the skirt option and are .020 over size

Are these similar to the pistons for the 650?

Will you be lightening the motor as you work on it? I've found a ton of excess casting bungs and holes for the engine to go into the original car application.

Are there any more updates on this build? I would love to see some more pictures.

no lightening or smoothing of the motor on this build, as far as pistons all of our forged pistons are from the same manufacturer so they do have some resemblances. we will have more pictures soon we are waiting on machine work to be done

How is this project coming along?

[silverbullet]

its coming along had a little wait in machining just because there were so many people trying to get stuff done for the long weekend.

we are waiting on the rods,pistons, and crank to come back from cryogenic freezing.

cryogenic freezing is the process in which the parts are submerged into a -300* environment for undisclosed periods of time making the molecules "relax" and ultimately resulting in a virtually stress free rod and crank.

this assembly will dissipate heat 30% more efficiently, and it will take much more abuse.

cams should be back this week.

we should have some pictures up of the final assembly by the end of the week.

Hey guys,

How is the project coming?

I would really like to see a bunch of pictures!!
