I have been looking at RHS tall block.
If I am right it would be better for me to go with the smaller bore version, since I am planning on using a 4.2L LC Kenne-Bell supercharger.
The RHS block I am looking at is the 9.760" tall deck with 4.120" unfinished bores.
I am looking at running 4.375" stroke crankshaft and 4.125" bore. This will give me 468 CI.
Should this be good and safe for a supercharger build? Can I safely go to a larger bore, I know max bore of the sleeves is 4.65" finish honed and that would make them to thin to safely run the supercharger.
I am planning on running a dry sump oiling system as I do plan on using the car both on the track and street.
My second question as to do with building my headers.
As I am building a GT40 MKII. Will running 180* crossover headers effect the LS motor or the use of the supercharger? Because this will cause issues with me running CAT's.
Or would it be better for me to run a more regular designed exhaust system with CAT's, x-pipe and mufflers.
