X275 P5 engine Progress - 05/11/12 01:23 AM
The heads were fitted on the block to get all the valve geometry perfected. Also so the measurements could be finalized for the billet intake. Lookin good so far.

Arent the parts at RWR and you are going to have Steve Morris do the final work on it? I know the guys at RWR are top notch for sure and what Morris has done speaks for itself. Amazing how big those heads are. Any idea what you fnal deck hieght will be?

Everything is at Visner Engine Development in Michigan now. Hans Feustel in Azle Texas is doing the build. Motor is at VED to fit everything up and so the custom Billet intake will fit as well. VED is building their own rocker stands. I believe they build all the parts for RWR. Final deck height will be 9.6 and cubes around 430".

That's definately my dream build. Any idea what the engine will weigh?

Re: X275 P5 engine Progress - 05/11/12 03:40 PM
9.6" Deck. Thats is taller than my BB 99. what is the stroke and final cubes going to be? Hans is a great choice as well. Amazing when you find out who makes what for whom at this level of build.

Re: X275 P5 engine Progress - 05/11/12 04:11 PM
Well we know that Hans Feustel can make some serious power. With 430" and those heads and a F1X it should be a killer.

Thats a serious looking cylinder head for a small block.

Are you going to use the A8 block? I thought I read on Moparts something about an Ernie Elliot block?

love the build but i have to ask, isnt it a little overboard for x275? i would think power management is the name of the game in that class

Re: X275 P5 engine Progress - 05/12/12 12:21 AM
Actually it takes about 1800 hp to run up front. I need a 1.15 to 1.18 short time to get where I need to be. The tire is amazing. I've seen a 1.13 sixty at 3200#. I will weigh 3275# with the Procharger. I bet I hit near 2000 hp on the dyno! The Challengers long wheel base is a plus. Going to run a 2 speed turbo 400 by Proformance transmissions and a PTC converter.

Awesome build Marty Makes me wish I kept my aluminum block. Every build has haters, probably mostly jealousy.. I say it's your project do what you want... Can't wait to see the results, I love bad a$$ SB's!!!!!

Awesome build Marty
I certainly hope you weren't refering to me as a hater. I have a friend Wes Whittle that lives local to me that won x275 with his old car last year and his current car boogies also. i also have other friends (lane culver from hinson supercars) that are into turbo stuff just pump out over 2000hp with a cathedral port LS motor.
I love the build and wish the OP the very best but I just thought it would have been possible to do it with a w8 type head is all.

Don't worry Ray I wasn't referring to you. It seems this thread was edited since the last time I read it. Some one said Marty was just wasting his money. I don't see that post or the ones following it anymore....

Re: X275 P5 engine Progress - 05/12/12 02:59 AM
A W8 would be a good choice as well. But I think I can make more power and have a more durable head. I think my old motor would run 4.80's with more stroke and my old heads. But since a 4.65 is the new record I figured this would be the best route. Also finding an unused set of W8's is not as easy as a new set of billet heads you can cut and shape how you want them. These heads are 100% set up for a blower. Smaller intake valve, larger exhaust, bigger combustion chambers etc. We will know in a few months! Will keep all posted.

Coolest build on the internet as far as I am concerned. That car WILL be a front runner, no doubt in my mind. Keep the updates coming

Quote:the comments are on the page named Cinder Blocks which someone else started. Which is exactly what they look like without the valve covers. My goal is to have the worlds fastest Mopar small tire car and hopefully be able to set the X275 record in the process. The car may be sent to the east coast to run a few select events in preparation for The Radial Revolution in September. Jason Lee will be behind the wheel on races I can't make. Gonna need a lot of testing to get it done!

My bad, I knew I read it somewhere. I can't wait to see results. What's the ETA on the project?
