273 Supercharged...ITS HAPPENING PEOPLE!!

VERY special thanks to Herbs Parts!! they came up with a good forged crank that was in great shape for a very reasonable price. I drove up today to pick it up and ended up chatting for an hour and a half! They are great group of people and very passionate about all things Mopar! After i picked up the crank I drove it straight back down to the machine shop to get the ball rolling on the balance and polish and surprise surprise.....More headaches. So the cast pistons that are available from speed pro are number one super expensive ($400) and number two are only made in a press wrist pin. So the upgraded rods that are available are only made for a floating pin. :banghead: So at this point its either go back to stock rods and cast pistons OR get pistons made. He believes he has a company that can do them for about $700 so I decided at this point another $300 for a forged piston is worth it. And because of the upgrade in piston we upgraded the Rods to a scat rod with a 7/16 arp bolt.

At this point the only thing holding me back from more boost is the head flow. We should be through the headaches in the bottom end at least. My wallet is getting light for sure. Ive sold some stuff to make some extra cash. I am getting alot of local buzz for people wanting to see how it does when its done. Hopefully at the new year I can start actually assembling stuff. Very interested to see how this thing works.
