[QUOTE="bubblehead93, post: 1703593, member: 19576"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.enginebuildermag.com/2013/03/the-raptor-takes-flight/[/URL] QUOTE To get the ball rolling for its internal Raptor upgrades, Livernois starts with improvements to the block. Thanks to its thick cylinder walls the block can be bored and honed .065?, resulting in a final 4.080? bore size. The new pistons are manufactured by JE with a ceramic coating and offered by Livernois in a choice of two compression ratios: 9.5:1 or 11:1. The connecting rods are made by Manley in a stock length forged H-beam design. The crankshaft is then offset ground to achieve a stroke of 3.82?, giving the new Raptor version a 6.6L or 400 cubic inch displacement. UNQUOTE So 6.6 is 400 cui, the 4.080 bore takes the 379 cui motor out to 392 cui and the weld/offset grind takes it to 400 cui (or so)... The 6.6L short block is $8500... or you could go your own path... Custom Diamond pistons (4.080 bore w/pin bore for Manley rods) based on their off-the-shelve piston for the 6.2 motor $1427.54 to your door (10.9:1 pistons, rings, and pins) Manley Connecting Rods (stock length) $1586.80 to your door ARP Main and Cylinder head studs $897.71 to your door Lets say $1000 to bore and align hone the block, clean up the crank, balance the reciprocating assembly Another $200-250 or so for the main and rod bearings Lets say another $350-500 if you pay someone to assemble the motor... So a 392 cui big bore short block should cost you about $5460-5660 or so, lets call it $6000 just for anything unforeseen... After another $2200 to make bolt-on ready a pair of pocket ported/blended heads and $809 to my door for a DCR Raptor cam re-grind... The point is, you can put together a really stout, admittedly only 392 cui vice 400 cui, long block for what a short block from livernois will cost you... I know I'm forgetting a few things, billet oil pump and stuff, but the point stands... there is value and quality out there... [/QUOTE]
