that's kinda neat.
only 500bhp off the bottle, though?
I wouldn't have used a big block.
Three simple numbers
3-2-7.
Cubes are overrated. 327 Small Block Chevy with the right cam and carb and big valve head will rev to the moon and produce immense power as well as being rather light. Throw some TWM IDA-style throttle bodies on there and you'll see 10,000rpms easy.

Forged conrods & pistons as standard, sodium filled valves... they're pretty bullet-proof. Surely I can expect more than 5600rpm?! They (MB) tested that engine at maximum rpm for 40 minutes! Never broke a sweat! Dunno why people don't tune 'em... I'm about to change that though! ;D |

4" bore, 3.25" stroke It's all about the short stroke 11:1cr with a hypereutectic coating (Keith Black makes a good piston set) Knife edged balanced crank shaft Crower ultra-light conrods  TWM 50MM IDA-style throttle bodies Motec M48 ECU Solid roller Flatlande camshafts (give them your specs and they'll make the perfect camshaft) Tremec T56 6-speed Edlebrock Performer RPM head (64cc chamber) 2.75" headers with 3" exhaust (Flowmasters) But I'm getting ahead of myself. |

True, Mr_Bo11ox... To be honest I'm entirely in the dark as to what the engine will perform like - no idea about power, torque or rpms... which doesn't help when I have to select some injectors. That'll be the fun part I reckon.... testing it! I've opted for a single Toyota CT26 turbo... might be a bit laggy I dunno. Just want to get the damn thing built now. Summer is approaching fast!
