. If you want to build a grand touring type of car, well balanced with power, handling, looks, and luxury,
Oh, and VSsc400, don't forget to get TWO of those gaskets

THAT would be time well spent and money well spent.
the next m5? 0-60 in 4 seconds or less..1/4 mile in the 12s

Hey Luther,
I personally believe the 1UZ's heads have more of a tendency to 'walk' on the block, creating greater problems once you start looking for anything over a BAR
Would you please clarify "Walk on the Block". I have an extra 1UZ-FE engine in my garage. I am using it as a spare. I am thinking about building a Forged internal.

I don't think studding the heads would be the final solution, IMO it has more to do with the alloy heads and alloy block expanding at different rates, sleeves obviously keep the bores from distorting, but there's really nothing keeping the deck surface from distorting a tiny bit under big-time boost. There are ppl that have put serious atmosphere into the 4.0 though, i'm sure 'DoubleWoosh' will chime in and provide some insight as to potential sealing problems, it's possible i'm being overly cautious, but I think that's always a safe practice in engine-building, let's see some preliminary dyno numbers @ low boost, then we'll know where we're at and can start making projections. Healerhand, the internals are already pretty damn heavy duty, a set of dished pistons and zero gap rings with careful prep of the oe reciprocating assembly should be fine unless you're looking for very serious numbers.

Wouldn't a copper head gasket fix that,or keep it from being a problem?
I'd go for a dry sump,undercut,oversized valves before doing forged internals on one of these motors.
Now that crank walk has been mentioned,I wonder if that'd ever be a problem if I were to install a six speed?

If the block proves to distort under high boost/power then the 4.7L iron truck block can be built up with forged pistons, rods and possibly a 6 bolt converstion from 2 bolt mains.
