its winter...so how about a "what will it make" post... - 01/28/12 03:13 AM
actually....more like a "what did it make" post.
its a motor i did for a friend of mine last spring.
some of you already know the numbers......so you guys cant play
the plan was for a relatively low RPM BB that would run on mixed gas, and be low maintenance, and run 10.0's at 3450lbs in the summer heat.
the original plan was going to be based on a stock 440 block bored .030 over with a 4.250 crank, for 505ci.
then, the decision was made to use an aftermarket block.
once that decision was made, then it didnt really make sense to stay with 505ci.
i decided on a 4.440 bore with a 4.375 stroke.....542ci.
then, it was deemed worth the extra $$$ to lose the 150lbs by using an aluminum block rather than a heavyweight World iron piece(over 300lbs).
so, its an Indy block, 4.440 bore
*eagle 4.375 crank
*eagle 7.100 rods
*custom Diamond inverted dome pistons, 11.7cr
*plain, old, boring 1/16, 1/16, 3/16 ring pack, std tension oil rings
*EZ-1 heads, chambers ported, bowls blended, valve job, flow 340/230
*roller cam, 272/278-112, .650/.630 lift
(the heads and cam actually were used parts that came from Mark Gates 511 Pacer motor)
*HS 1.5 rockers
*older, non-HP 1050 3 circuit dominator(also from Marks 511)
*440-3 intake
*Hooker 1 7/8" fenderwell headers(long), 3.5" collectors
*center sump deep pan with single line external system
then.....its going in a 3450lb Dart with ladder bars and 30X10.5 radial drag slicks, 4.10 gears and an ATI 8" converter.
lets hear what you got to say.....

.....ok...ok...I cant play. Now I'm bored.
) and EZ-1's built-in 'kinda meh' exhaust flow (compared to a raised port) is going to force the peak RPM to be a tad to the low side, peak torque should come in around 5000 but with the cubes and CR it should be EPIC all the way there. The wider 112 centers should help the torque hang on a while though. An exhaust limited low Peak torque RPM has a way of lowering the HP curve trajectory, but there's F.A.S.T. ways of getting the torque not to drop like a stone.
, is there a exhaust leak or what
