4.5 inch stroke? Wow, it should make some torque. Not sure about the HP but it will definitely make some torque. Were you able to fit an internal oil pickup tube around the 4.50 inch stroke? I see the external line so I'm guessing you removed the internal pickup and are external only?

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.
