Chevrolet Corvette Stingray - The Timber Wolf C2 Gets Fired Up

Stroke Me

The block is now ready for the Eagle 4340 stroker crank and rods. Once everything clears in the engine, the rotating assembly is balanced up on the Winona balancer, where the finished balance job was less than 1 gram max out of balance.

Mount Me
Once all work is completed, the block and all its parts receive a final wash and are readied for assembly. After the engine is completed, it is loaded onto the Stuska Track Master Dyno Cart and hooked up to the dyno.
