As some of you may have known in 2008 I set a goal to run 9's full weight with all luxuries and I did just that (as seen in sig). Well as we all know the next goal is set higher so plans for this coming 2009 year my goals are low 9's hopefully 9.30's-9.40's and still retain A/C. After last season of turning the motor 9500+ rpms I decided to tear it down and check it out. To my surprise everything looked very good, however I noticed the rod bearings were wearing fairly quick since I was using the Eagle/Ross combo so I decided I would change things up a bit. I will start off with the new shortblock pics and info. Bare with me whereas I work on the road alot, but will keep this thread updated.
The purpose for this write up is to specifically talk about the parts used in my build. There are alot of people interested in the aluminum rod motors as well as the Wiseco 1400HD pistons. Plus its winter time and we all love pics!!
First I will post pics then I will list my specs/clearences. **These are what I felt were correct to use after obtaining the best info I could get USE AT YOUR OWN RISK**

All work was done at www.pattersonracing.com this is the first import they have ran through their shop, however the machinst in the back Mike knows 4g63's very well. They are no joke when it comes to making power!! Darren answered every call and called when he promised he would. Could not ask for any better professionalism.
Thanks for looking,
Jason
