Big single, fuel only? A 6.7 might work pretty good for that. A friend knew a guy that had one, so I grabbed it.
I built a little engine stand, and began disassembly.
The pistons and cylinder walls look beat, so it'll be getting sleeved.
But what pistons should I run? This is where I hit a wall. Most guys lean towards the wide bowl, but guys like robert ivey are making 1150 hp on stock pistons, head, and even rods.
I'm not going for all out power, as I'll only need 1000 or so to hit my goals. I considered custom pistons, but I really didn't want to be stuck in the middle of the season if I hurt one or two of them. I felt like a factory part would be good enough, and be easy to get if I needed a replacement. I ended up going with the wide bowl. Maybe next year I'll look into something more competitive if these don't do it for me.
