What is the engine going to be in? What are you going to use it for? How dependable does it need to be? There is a a lakes modified out of Salt lake that runs a supercharged Packard 8. In 2008 we were parked at the end of mile 2 at Bonneville. Some guys in a late model Ford truck stopped and asked him how fast he was going when he passed them on the way out from Salt Lake that morning. He said he didn't know because the only gauge he didn't have was a speedometer. He said he was only turning 2000 rpm and had another gear to go. The Ford guys said they were doing a little better than 90 mph when he went by. That big Packard 8 didn't even know it was hooked to anything. Big old torquey straight motors don't need RPMs to do their work. The McColluch didn't hurt.
