Close the deck, while you still can.

You are Boost King Matt

Right?
Own it. 😁

It's your brand!

 

[Upshifter]

Love it.

Go big or go home!

(I'll be home if anyone needs to find me.)

I probably will do that. It will be a little bit before I do it though.

No just run it like it is with oem sized pistons and Boostline rods...

I was asking why you think it's a remanufactured block? Can you see something obvious in the sleeving or what are you seeing?

Adam said getting the deck closed isn’t imperative. Is it better? Yes. It also costs more.

Matt, you're all over the place, an 800 HP engine is a different animal than an 1100 HP engine.

My comments were directed to your previous higher HP posts.

As far as taking the recommendation of a single builder/tuner about what you might get away with, I'd simply tell you to do your research.

Close the deck if you want a lot of ponies, and you're going to use them for an extended period of time. It is simply common sense.

At RPM's beyond 6500 with the kind of pressure it takes to make a V6 turn 1000 HP or anywhere in that neighborhood, those cylinders will be wanting to trade places if the deck is left open.

My mind goes to not only HP numbers but RPM numbers are super important. Can a well built 3.5 turn 8000 rpm’s?

Jake McCartney runs 7250 rpm on his 3.5

Thing is it does not need to spin that high. Boosted engines make torque low in the RPM range and hold it for a long time. High RPM serve more as an over-rev saftey factor. KM

Oh, I’m not sure… I’m just guessing it’s a reman because the number is the same as some reman blocks but I don’t know.

Yes im all over the place, and that’s because I’m not sure what I’m doing exactly yet. Adam has experience with helping several 3.5 builds. I’m also friends with Jake and he has built his engine too. There’s not too many people doing it. I look to Jake’s build with a lot of respect because he has ran 9s and has about 1000hp and his engine is still together. Carson’s blew up, though it wasn’t really the parts he used fault.

Yeah, and it depends on what you’re getting too. If you spin it high and it’s not making more power or there’s some restriction somewhere, then you might be outflowing some stuff at that rpm, so you bring it back down and focus on lower end. There’s a lot to it.

So Jake's truck puts out about 725 lb ft then if he's doing 1k hp @ 7,250 rpm.

So the turbos and fueling will easily get you to that torque level, if you're not close already, then built internals will let you rev out to get the hp you want without yard selling shiny bits.

I've seen vids of stock block Raptors being tuned into the 700's for torque.

 

[EcoXLT]

Does anyone know about the part numbers?

Why does the photo of the block I bought show NL3E-6015-AA and the 2021-2024 block on ford parts website says NL3Z-6010-AA

Ford has used the 6015 number way back to this 69 351 Windsor motor. Castings started in 68 from this pic. But actually casting this one April 30 1969. I learned how to decode casting numbers while restoring some 60’s fords. And buying date correct parts keeping the restore pure.

Well he has around 840whp right now, and probably 820 ftlbs of torque.

But yeah I know what you’re saying. Yeah I’ve seen stock raptors doing those torque numbers too, and close to 700whp too.

I’ll just have to peak at my own truck’s block to see if it has the same number on it.

 

[boostkingMatt]

Apparently I lucked out on the 3.5 block because the seller now has those blocks at 895$ now. I got mine for 522$ shipped!

 

[boostkingMatt]

Bumper end caps are on…
Looks really good, however there’s some issues. Driver side I need to adjust because it doesn’t sit flush with the side panel. Also, the two backup sensors in the metal part, near the exhaust tips, the “holders” that were on my stock bumper don’t fit properly so I’m probably going to have to get other ones. We’ll see if the sensors make the truck freak out tomorrow when I try to back up

 

[snakebitten]

Looks great.

 

[FanaticalKilla]

I think the same, looks awesome.

 

[boostkingMatt]

New block goofin

 

[GearHead_1]

What is the story with that block? It kind of looks someone has scraped head gaskets off of it. The cylinders also look like something has been in those holes before.

No, it’s never been used. There’s like packing oil stains that rub off if you wipe it with your finger. I’ll post more pics on Sunday probably.
