6-bolt blocks Options

[SCCA Stang]

I was talking to one of the DSM bretheren over here with me and he seems to think that there was a big difference between the 6-bolt short block used in a turbo versus a 6-bolt short block used for N/A....

I can't recall any difference, but have little knowledge of this myself.

can someone let me know if there is any difference at all in the blocks???

The last thing our engines need is more oil pressure at high RPM (assuming their built correctly that is).  Removing the b-shafts and plugging the front b-shaft bearing supply gives all the extra oil pressure you'll ever need.  The oil squirters cool forged pistons just as well as the stock pistons which gives extra detonation resistance.  Some are of the mind that oil squirters don't help, but I believe every little bit helps.  The Mitsu engineers wouldn't have put them there if they didn't have a reason.

They are junk and do noting but create extra windage aound the rotating assymbly. Forged pistons do not need these stoneage band-aids. And removing the balance shafts dosn't create more oil pressure, this is regulated by a pressure pressure regulater found in the oil filter adapter.

isn't the change in oil squirters the main culpret to crank walk in the 7-bolt.
