Re: Race Engine Challenge
Am I understanding this? Are we saying no more EMC at UNO or anywhere else for that matter?

Thanks Walter,
I am guessing from this the REC will happen with no other competing event. This could possible mean a glut of entries for the REC event.
Glad I got my entry in already!

Re: Race Engine Challenge
Of course, when the EM competition began there was no magazine and it could go on without one. I'm amazed though that with all the Speedtalkers who have competed in it through the years, no one has said a word..

They use to publish a lot of the engines in Popular Hot Rodding.MadBill wrote:Of course, when the EM competition began there was no magazine and it could go on without one. I'm amazed though that with all the Speedtalkers who have competed in it through the years, no one has said a word..

Re: Race Engine Challenge
I hear no rules until PRI. Damned if that doesn't keep us guessing. Greg seems tight lipped on rules but I do know that 289 is lower than the lowest limit that is going to be allowed.
My thoughts here would be to have 350 as the lower limit as it would allow 5.0 strokers into the game as well as the bigger Ford Mod Motors.
Before Greg solidifies the rules we need to make our thoughts known here so let's have some lower limit inches and the reasons why.
Thanks

Re: Race Engine Challenge
Regardless of the specific rules, hearing and seeing the engines run on the Dyno in competition is the most thrilling form of motorsports for me. I love the simplicity of just the engine doing its thing..it is awesome!

If it's being judged on Power per Cube platform then why do you need CI limits?David Vizard wrote:I hear no rules until PRI. Damned if that doesn't keep us guessing. Greg seems tight lipped on rules but I do know that 289 is lower than the lowest limit that is going to be allowed.

Re: Race Engine Challenge
Generally speaking, for a given number of cylinders the fewer cubes the better re specific power.

That is only true if there is no upper RPM limitation. TORQUE output is a major player if there is one.MadBill wrote: Generally speaking, for a given number of cylinders the fewer cubes the better re specific power.

Re: Race Engine Challenge
That is mine. A 433 inch FE that has been in a couple Challenges over the years. We built it, competed successfully, and then brought it back and installed it in my car. Took the car to the FE race in Beaver Springs that April & ran it, took it to the Fairlane show at Ford HQ later that summer, ran it at the Detroit Dragway Reunion at Milan, and took it to the Woodward Cruise. Basically made sure that the car with that engine was visible at lots of places. Then we pulled it out & changed just the cam (did not even pull the intake - held the lifters up with tag wire) and entered it into the following year's Challenge. Cam change was because they lowered the RPM range for that particular year. After that run - again reasonably competitive - it went back into the car where it still resides. Although its getting really tired with well over 300 dyno pulls and several dozen passes, it still ran an 11.0 in my 3700 lb streeter Torino a short while ago - smoking like a train and really deserving a true freshening. The whole point was to prove that these are not fragile dyno queens.midnightbluS10 wrote:Walter R.

You may not agree or even like that contest but, at least know what you are talking about.
Didn't somebody build one and run it in EMC, put it in a car that put quite a few miles on it after the contest, and then pulled it out and took it back the next year without so much as a freshening?

Correct me if I'm wrong Barry. But I believe you had pics of the old girl pullin wheelies with the emc engine in it too! A very street worthy bad mamajamma!Barry_R wrote:That is mine.

Thank you, Barry. Awesome engine. I did remember you changing cams, also, but wasn't sure I was recalling correctly. Thanks for the clarification.

We've raced our 2011 entry, and had it on the dyno a lot since the EMC.
