X2, More info needed.
I would consider going EFI. Fuel managment is key to making good reliable power. Your goal of 1200 HP sounds conservative. Edit: I meant conservative for race gas at least... Allan G.

Who told you not to turbo this engine?? That would pretty much be my dream combo for my car. I'm currently doing a turbo 6.1. May want to maybe consider a beefier piston, but I only say this because I'm not sure what those pistons look like. What rods do you have? I too would also really consider EFI. Plus with E85, I think you'll make a bazillion hp.
Those engines have some pretty kick ass parts in them. It is obviously going to require a cam, convertor and gear change.

Ever since I mentioned this a few years ago guys have been saying don't do it. But when I was doing the project originally a ton of guys were on here saying that combo would never work as a drag car and wouldn't you know, these engines run 9.30's to 9.40's all day long with minimal to no tuning. Yes the pistons will def need to be changed. I think total height of the piston skirt to deck is only 1.32 if I remember correctly. Extremely short pistons. I'm running a 6.250 rod right now, so plenty of room to shorten the rod for more comp height and make a dish I would think. Yeah everything is billet or titanium ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbs.gif)

The only thing I would imagine would be a problem is what crankshafts are available, I would imagine a 2" rod journal would have to be a minimum. Is something like that available without having one made? The blocks are plenty sturdy, piston and rods are easily changed, so I don't see what the fuss is about. The only other thing would be camshaft cores with a wide enough lobe separation. I don't know why no one else has tried an engine like this already

Currently the compression is at 11.8:1. If I ran the fast system wouldn't I have to do the dual quad setup? If I remember right the single 4 is good for like 600 hp. I have several cranks ranging from 3.23-3.31 with 2.100 rod journals. They were from the early days when Petty was using the old R5 stuff. Compared to the newest R5 stuff, this stuff is heavy ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh2.gif) My plan is to use one of the large journal cranks for the turbo build.

I emailed them a couple times a while back, they don't have any build info on their site. I never heard anything from them.
call them and ask for his dad Jack...he's the man behind the mechanical genius....
