Mainly due to not getting parts, like intake valves, pistons. The new build is using the crower 4.315 stroke ccw crank i have had since 2005. It started life at 4.15 but was offset ground. I ordered 572-13 385cnc heads , pistons and valvetrain from Todd at Marsh Performance, along with a BME aluminum block in 4.500 bore. Todd has been great to work with, but like everybody else is waiting on parts.
My heads are going to get a little extra TLC to add a few more cfm flow.
The cam will be the same Mike Jones inverted radious cam that made 926 hp with 440-1 heads. The 3X intake got ported by Wilson manifolds, the compression will be as close to 15/1 as i can get, rings are .9mm(.036). Line2line skirt coating on the pistons, dlc coated .205 wall piston pins. Molnar 7.1 long rods, 2.2 rod bearings.
I have a 4.5 inch vacuum pump pulley which will turn the pump as fast as suggested max.
Terminater fuel injection, methanol fuel . I am hoping to see 1030 hp out of this deal, and my dart should weigh 2870 at the line. Hoping to run sub 8.50.
