Help!!
Hey guys!! My name is Jeff Smith and I live in Cabot. I am looking for a D0VE or thick web D1VE or an aftermarket. I run a 557 BBF on Alcohol and N2O and spun a cam bearing and a rod bearing too. My current block is a D0VE-A 4 bolt main, it almost was lost this time so I need to get a back up. If any body has one or knows of one please let me know. Thanks.

I have hopes and dreams to one day stuff that monster under the hood. I don't know how long it will take till that happens though. So for now I will run with the 300, when it does come out I will make sure it does go to a good home. There is nothing wrong with it, I just prefer that 460 power for off-road!
Jeff, was there any damage when you spun the bearings? You should be able to get it machined and new bearings put in. Or am I missing something since you run alcohol?

^ All the perfect reason to trade. Short wheelbase matched with a 460. What mods do you have to do to drop a 300 inplace of a 351? Will the same trans work? My trany has a good warranty on it wouldnt want to give that up. Oh and what kind of gas mileage are you getting with it? My buddy has one and he gets around 20 mpg.

Andy, When the cam bearing spun it took out some material of the bore. They amke a
.015 overbearing but thats all. The next step would to be to go to roller bearings and Craft wants $500 to bore out for those. The roller bearings only cost me $36!!! So if I can get a back up block and get it ready it would be cheaper.
I live off 107 between Cabot and Vilonia. I'll post when I've got it back together and anyone that wants to can come see and hear it. Did I mention that it makes 1000 hp before the 650 shot of N2O?

Man that really sucks it took a chunk out. I have been doing some looking around for prices to do the machine work on my block. I have always wanted to do a 557 but I will stick with a 465. I am just slightly going to build the engine up. Post some pics of that monster! Where do you race at? What truck are you running it in? Do you by chance have a manual non-balanced flywheel laying around?

Well get with me and come look, anyone is welcome. I have all this stuff from when i was using OEM parts. Now its all Billet aftermarket so I dont need to hord it anymore. I have head studs, pushrods, D0OE rods, a 429 short block,+.040, that is fresh and will be a 12.5 to 1 motor with D0VE heads and more stuff. Give it a look and make me some resonable offers.

A 429 short block sounds nice but I am sure you have all kinds of expencive stuff in it. I would have to lower the 12.5 to 1 so I could run pump gas. What would you want for the block only? Maybe a trade of sorts for blocks? The only thing is mine is only a 2bolt main, you would have to convert it over. I would love to come over and take a peek at what you have. Scott hit it on the head, I love that candy!!! LOL
