Perhaps I shouldn’t post details of this engine on a “racing” forum, but I enjoy reading the technical info posted here and thought you might be interested in a “slightly different” build.
This engine was built for a real “street” car that weighs 4,175lb, has a 727 with the tightest possible 11” converter, 3.54 gears and a Gear Vendor overdrive.
So, torque, high idle vacuum for the power disk brakes, low speed drivability, low maintenance and the ability to buy gas anywhere I happened to find myself, were the priorities.
All the clearances were set on the tight side. Diamond coated 4032 allow pistons were chosen for the tight .003-.0035 piston to wall clearance were used. All the bearings are coated, a Napier second ring was used for oil control.
The engine will run full. Synthetic low viscosity oil and pump gas.
