Problem is the lack of knowledge over here. Supposedly they can do the crank but the pins I gotta find a lathe and turn em out my self.... I mean 1000 H.P. + pins can be turned down quite a bit. I think I would need a billet bottom end to crank out any mote than high 6's low 7's and then I would toss the pistons and rods and go for something a lot more common because you know at a grand things can screw up real fast. Not that they dont at lower power levels.
On a side note: I would have shite my pants at 650 H.P. a few years ago. Now it seems like a mundane number with a whole lot of PITA to get there for this motor. Kind of feels like turning a hay bailer motor into a circle track engine. lol
EDIT: Forgot to mention everything has been measured... They destroyed the flywheel I think I posted but its all packed up and ready for the 8 hr drive to tokyo. Im still a little cranky they wont turn the pins but I can live with it

I mean these pins are rated at 1000+ H.P. at their current thickness.
