briannutter Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Ahhh, yes the forums reputation proceeds itself I'm the technical sales guy for Wiseco. Do a lot of the designs for custom pistons and shelf stock stuff. Been here 10 years and worked for Shafiroff, Batten, the School of Automotive Machinists, and 4 years in USAF before that. ok, here's my junk. 1994 corvette-gutted, engine tranny out, top cut off and it's being turned into a speedster. Engines in my kitchen being assembled as we speak. 360 cube, cast crank, k1 rods, Wiseco's, AFR eliminator 210's, tunnel ram, 11.5:1, bugcatcher. 66 lincoln, 9", 4.11 gears, 3500 stall, 477ci Lincoln Mel motor.. my portwork, 233@.050 solid lifter. Working on an intake manifold for it. 2001 Cherokee daily 2008 Mazdaspeed3 for the wife. stock so far until my wallet recovers. God, I don't have my cars posted in online anywhere. I consider that about as gay as it gets. If I gotta do it I will...but fuck. If I do, I'll see if Shearer will put them on his site or something. Be plenty happy to email a few to someone that can help me out here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briannutter Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Still working on pics. I sent some to Shearer from work to see if he would host. Leviathan: Obligated-no, Choose to-yes I've had every piston by every manufacturer through our lab. A couple competitors do really nice parts and they're hard to beat....hard...not impossible. The other 11 piston companies we compete against are down the food chain. We're the only U.S. company with in house forgings. We sell them to other piston companies as well. We also do raw forgings for others...big 6 puck monoblock calipers, clutch baskets, F1 suspension parts or whatever people need. We're also the only company with an in-house dyno for piston, ring, coating, development etc. As for myself. If we don't stock what I need, I design it. The Lincoln's 477 MEL engine has some custom pistons that would befit a NHRA Pro Stocker. 200g lighter than stock. The LT1 uses a k412x6 piston. K1 is our sister company. The Mel Motor runs stock rods. The LT has K1's. Tom Molnar designed rods for 25 years for Oliver before going out on his own and starting k1. Our previous sister company Carrillo acquired them and we've been working with them ever since.

briannutter Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Pretty sweet designing your own stuff. Another question do u get "prototypes" of pistons and stuff to try out or use in a build? Sorry Im like a lil kid asking santa how the workshop works lol yep, I'm pretty fortunate. Racers and degreed engineers don't talk each others language and I'm in a position that allows me to communicate with both and get ideas across. I get to work with a lot of top notch people and live vicariously through them As for prototypes, we've got a few key customers in each form of racing that have ongoing programs with us. We send them (and they pay for) the latest trickest parts and they prove them out before we pass them to the rest of our customers. By then, we've got something better for them that keeps them ahead of their competition. They give us reallysolid scientific feedback. The time it takes for a prototype to be run for the first time and the time it's released to the general market is generally less than a year and a 1/2. That being said, parts are always an evolution and we've got a pretty good idea of what they're going to do before they go in an engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briannutter Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 soooooooo do/can we get discounted internals from you? not directly, but we've got a bunch of "friendly" distributors that I can forward you to. Just email me at work with what you need and I'll do my best to line you up with someone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
