Basically a complete 1/2 mile asphalt oval track motor.
It's got some good stuff, 48 degree lifters, only a 4.03 bore so plenty of meat left (4.08" max) , complete jesel rocker system, 15 degree W2's nice valve gear, oil pan and race pulleys.
Hollis says just a hone rering and go which wouldn't be bad. I've always wanted an R block bullet proof bottom end to build a 'mild' 700-750 horse turbo with. Maybe a 3.7-3.79" crank D dish slugs and a ported Holley W2 pro dominator with a sheetmetal EFI blow through.
Dizusters early B smallblock sleeper really getting me stoked to do one.
Then again a streetable 383" W2 motor done up like a late 70's pro stocker with dual EFI would be really cool too....even if it sits in a stand for a while.
I know the Ford/AMC guys with 9.2 decks use a 4" stroke 6" rod combo but I'm thinking a destroke to 3.9" with the 2" '327' journal 6.125" rods ( I have a set) might rev a little better and bob a bit lighter too.
Talked to Hollis and maybe he and Larry Smith and I could buddy up on an engine masters motor with it...or maybe for another collective Moparts entry, who knows? It was worth picking up, even if i dont have any real firm plans for it. Couldn't pass it up. Worst case, resell it to somebody who needs it, I wont let it sit long.
Thoughts? ideas?
