Kudos to Nemo and SNL....scribed and I ain't even interested lol
I only take credit for putting this info out in the open, in one place, for the publics use... I didn't develop anything.

I should have the custom Wiseco pistons here in roughly a week... then the crank goes to the machine shop, all machine work will be done, then the crank goes to get ion nitride coated, then we assemble... I'd say, a month and a half.

We will have to offer the pistons through us. Wiseco isn't going to make them a shelf stock setup, they want to give us a proprietary part number and sell to us only. We'll pass the pn and savings to you guys.

so...you're saying i give you roughly $2k for parts and i have my block machined .040" over - then assemble? sounds too too good to be true...cant wait to see the final product!!! in for the DIY'r
If you want, we can sprinkle some magic fairy dust on the parts to make the price even more worth it. lol. Believe it, hopefully more parts will be here soon so I can post up more pics for you guys.

Sure, if you want us to source the parts for you. It's really going to depend on what rod you want...

The Ion Nitride treatment is interesting. What about Cryo treating the crank as well? Or even the rods and pistons... I think you can even do it to the block if you wanted to.
I needed stronger axles, and there aren't any available for my car. They've held up to a full season of drag racing and autocross so far. I think it only cost me about $175 for the axles. I don't think having an engine done was all that expensive.
I've heard people using the Ion treated cranks on these engines, but don't think I've ever read anyone using a Cryo treated crank. Could be a cheaper alternative, or maybe both processes could be used on the same crank to make it even stronger.

Why would it snap? I thought the point of it was to make it stronger to keep it from snapping... unless it doesn't actually work... My otherwise stock axles that have been cryo treated haven't snapped yet...

tcglass1 is correct, we don't recommend the cryo treat on internals as most do not. The ion nitride finish is about all you can do to increase strength in a cast crank (to my knowledge).

What does the stock crank weigh? 30lbs? This is the same treatment DCR does to there ion cranks correct?

I also found a new rod part number for you guys for the scat rods.
[SIZE=1][SIZE=1][SIZE=1]2-5906-1771-1038-866[/SIZE]
[SIZE=1][/SIZE][/SIZE][/SIZE]
I'll go ahead and update the part numbers post with this, too.
According to Mopar they weigh 40lbs and I have no idea where DCR gets their stuff done but Ion Nitride coating is Ion Nitride coating... can't really jazz that up.
