Awesome job man. I love the knowledge you bring on this channel good stuff

[@chestrockwell8328]

Great to see you've got her back on the track. What RPM are you turning ?

[@Triefenbachracing]

Max is 6800 to match the crates for comparison. I didn’t put a girdle on this motor so I really don’t want to turn more that 7000.

[@chestrockwell8328]

@@Triefenbachracing Thanks, and I was curious whether or not you were using a Girdle on this one. Do you know any the guys running a stock block 302 and having success turning over 7000 RPM?

[@Triefenbachracing]

@@chestrockwell8328 not without a girdle. A girdle doesn’t keep the block together, it keeps the main caps from walking at higher rpm. Only time will tell how this one works without one, but I’ll be the first to let y’all know if it doesn’t make it lol. If you have your stuff balanced I’m sure 7k would be fine-but definitely pushing it.

@@Triefenbachracing There are certainly all sorts of internet talk about these little SBF 302 ranging from nearly indestructible to splitting clean in half. Rarely does anyone talk specifics on a failure. Mine is internally balanced, forged, girdle and something like 150 grams per piston/rod lighter than stock. I believe you nailed a big culprit by addressing your knock issue.
