If somebody has the time, i have my new engine all drawn up on paper and was wandering what it might produce. Here are the stats, let me know if i'm missing something.
Flat top pistons 3.5cc valve recess
75cc combustion chamber
Smog style heads(the heavy duty ones from a truck, don't have the # handy but it's not the 882's)
2.02 /1.6 valves
bore 4.04
stroke 3.75
head gasket .015 with a 4.1 bore
Compression is 10.5:1
preforer dual plane intake
Barry grant 750 carb
comp cam 270
dynomax headers 3" collector
4" side pipes with jcl baffles
I don't have a Desktop Dyno but your setup sounds to me like a 390 - 420 HP engine with more potential. If the heads are Stage II ported and you would run a more radical cam + a Performer RPM cam you could easyly get to 450.
The Performer is a low RPM intake (up to 5500) If you want to make big HP you need RPM and a performer just doesn't perform good above 5500
I had to guess at some of the cam specs, such as lift and centerline. This engine might possibly make more power, but these figures give a good indication of what it will do.
Thanks for the help. you guys are great. Oh, by the way, the LCA is 106 and the lift is .556
With the revised cam specs, the engine produces 357 hp @ 5,000 rpm and torque is 440 @ 3,000 rpm. The torque curve is still nice and flat to about 4500 rpm, enough to embarass Amtrak :D
shot000, funny, enough torque to embarass Amtrack....good one!!!
anybody ever seen the sheer size of a bare block for even a small switch engine from a RR??? man those things are HUGE....saw one at a place called Pre Heat Welding up in Maryland once, then they blow up, they MEAN it...but they fix the blocks....
