The perfect example of less displacement and more horse power.

From Dick Maxwell:

Any 170 cu. in. slant six having a small BBS carburetor (1-1/4" dia. venturi) will produce about 5% more power when the 225 cu. in. BBS carburetor (1-11/32" dia. venturi) is installed. These two carburetors can be identified by measuring their throttle bore diameter. The larger carburetor has a 1-11/16" dia. throttle bore and the smaller carburetor has a 1-9/16" dia. throttle bore. All 170 manual transmission jobs and the 1960 and 1961 170 with automatic transmission have the smaller carburetor.
2. Two Barrels
a. Two Barrel Conversion Available from MoPar
A two barrel set up (as used on the 225 cu. in. marine engine) is available from MoPar as follows:
1 - 2463849 carburetor
1 - E8467 manifold
1 - 2465310 air cleaner




Dick is not saying the 170 will make 5% more power than the 225, he is saying the 170 will make 5% more power with the bigger carb from a 225 than it did with it's original carb.

If the 170 makes more power than the 225 witch we already established is the most powerfull engine ever then mabey we should all swap out Hemis for the rare and elusive monster 170 slant 6 the no car on earth could ever touch us





So does that equate that a 413 will make 5% more HP than a 440 using the 440 carb ?




Nice touch 62'
