With the parameters given in the rules for that REC contest, I figured 1.55 lb/ft and 2.1 HP per cubic inch would be required; maybe a little more.JonKaase wrote: ↑Mon Apr 02, 2018 5:19 pm Tex, you are right. I missed the compression being 12 to 1. and only 7500 rpm, I was thinking 8000. doing the math, the absolute most power you could make at 7500 would be 2.39/inch. that's 1.68 ft/lbs per inch at 7500. 1.68 ft/lbs per inch is the highest NA torque per inch that I have ever seen. and with 12 to 1 you won't see that much. SO that would be 959HP max for a 400" and with the compression less and the lift rule and no dry sump or vacuum, it should be way less..... Kaase

Those are the numbers I figured but, my problem is ... I don't think I am going to get there.

Re: A shock...2018 Engine Masters thread
I will probably do the Engine Masters deal. I looked at the Race Engine contest rules and it looks like it would be nearly impossible for a FE based entry to be competitive on my budget. I don't mind "not winning" but need to be at least in the hunt for it to look like an honest effort. The amount of intake and cylinder head work I would need to do (or have done) makes it financially irresponsible.

Barry, those last two words of your post pretty well sums up almost everything we do!

I wonder if a HammerHeaded small block will show up in Traditional Muscle class? I would love to see those up close. J.Rob

Just out of curiosity ...
would a hemi headed small block Ford be considered to have O.E.M. "replacement" heads ?

I would suspect that there is not an amount of potential contestants to fill the two classes so, a choice is not required to be made yet...

Last I heard they wanted two or three more vintage entries
