|

I have a few motors to finish up for Joey. When they are done I'm going to start on a motor for my 68 ghia vert. I think I can build a motor to turn out over 100 hp on a $900.00 Budget. I'm not talking about cutting corners. I'm talking about a dependable daily driver 100 hp. My Goal is to have it done by Dyno days. $900.00 - 9 months - 99.99+ hp. Did I mention 1776 cc????
What do you think? Can it be done _________________ It's the pedal on the right, Now stomp it!

As long as you plan on paying labor cost Monkey Boy you got it. I need to add a few more details I have a case, Crank, Heads, and a Cam. Also that is at the fly wheel. I Plan on 9 to 1 compression, Porting and polishing done by yours truly, Carbs to save money will probaly be Kardons, Staight cut gears lightend fly wheel, 1.4 to 1 rockers, valves are 42x37. I'm figuring 30 percent loss of hp to the wheels so 70 hp or higher reading on the dyno will mean victory. _________________ It's the pedal on the right, Now stomp it!

Sounds doable, but how many miles will you get out of it? It sounds like a large amount of reused parts (which is wise in the goal of saving $) I'm not looking for an argument now. I just want to see the same motor without splitting the case in 5 years, with moderate driving wear on it. And see the temps and oil pressure, etc. |

I'm going to use a used case line bored, A use crank cut 10/10 used heads, New valves, springs,and keepers, a used balanced fly wheel, rebuilt carbs, so it's not like I'm using used cams, lifters, pistons and jugs. Now as far as temps and oil pressure: full flow-all new bearings. Now 5 years of moderate driving, If I keep it the world will never Know, Not real sure what moderate driving means. _________________ It's the pedal on the right, Now stomp it!

Jeff,
We all knew you had no idea of what moderate driving is.
To me, moderate driving is: driving in a way that doesn't blow something up before it wears out. No sidestepping the clutch, or lugging it, or revving to 6K in every time I go somewhere.
Your plan sounds good to me. Add balancing and go for it. |

Jeff, tried to do a burnout in a '61 vert with a 36hp motor. He was trying to speed shift that old vert also. I know he will break that 1776 in right _________________ Give me a salad & a PBR please |
