And what issue is this in?(12port news) nothing in the past yr. that i have seen. Now as for that
article On the 230 @ 460 HP I have it.And that
Is when I very first talked with Mike Kirby
Many years ago. He said that little 230 was at The MAX It also ran with 3 660 holleys.
It buzzed about 8500 it had a crane cam (what crane called a Low-Jerk NO -Pop series It was a .800 lift and 284 degrees duration Part number was a R284-456-2S-8 this was at the time a PRO Stock grind.
I came across this article Back 83(it was from 1979)
Well like i said I came across it in 83 This is when I first Got the New found Hots for the Inline.
Then I started to make phone calls all over the place MIke being one of the Very first.He let me pick his brain for at least a good year Before I started to even Build my first L6 in 84.Late 83 I started out with just a Offey & headers then stepped up to a Rv style cam. What a big difference even the first two things had made.
But anyway Longer story made short Yes that had will made 2hp Per cubic inch. The underside/combustion chamber Is Not Inline like the stock head is This looks more Kinda twisted /wave They are tilted. I have even seen these heads first hand and Close up.I tried so Hard to get the first guys Head that I ever seen But NOPE he wasn't about to give it up at No Price
even though he wasn't racing any more Bummer me
to this day I'd love to have one BUT thats just not in my pocket to buy Or Mikes.
But my bottom LINE is I have Him (Mike Kirby & a Very good friend/Member here in Fla to Thank for getting me into The Inline More then 20 years ago)
Ps I had called crane back then and that cam would have cost me about 400 bucks back then.
God doesn't like ugly.
