    Default 6.5 block manufacturing specs

    This may be a long shot but here goes ...

    I'm looking for bare block specs, ie, cam to crank center, crank center to deck measurement & angle, cylinder spacing, etc..

    I've searched and came up empty...

    Thanks, Chris

    My suggestion would be to scare up a block that has not been decked....get out the micrometers and measure things.

    Pretty easy to stuff a "spud" in both the cam bore and crank bore...Measure between them...do the math to get the CL/CL

    You can clamp a solid bar on the deck (bolt on) and mic that too.

    IF YOU DO IT....You can be sure you are not getting some BS story....REAL TIME....REAL NUMBERS


    Sounds like fun.

    Whatcha up to ???

    Yea I know that way of measuring it, just would like to find manufacturing specs if possible but I doubt it's possible..

    Unfortunately, it isn't a standard pattern block, like the SB/BB's. In your search, also look at the 6.2. It's the same, except for the bore. It's been around longer, so maybe somebody leaked a document. A machine shop that does serious blueprinting would know just about any of them, except probably this engine. It's free to ask, though. It has to be in a book, somewhere.
