Thank You all!
It's nice to get some info from guys who know more then the usual engine-builders on this side of the big pond,there are not so many that cares about inlines here in Sweden,but I do,and I think that I will show those who is not a beliver of inline-6 engines a little lesson (or two???)
I do have a pretty good combo as is but why not get some more power if it's possible,it can never be wrong with more oomph in a car...
The specs of my engine for the moment is as follows: Stock bore 258 ported head with sligthly cut V8-valves (2.0" in-1.57" ex)Crane hyd. camshaft 216/228 deg.@ 0.50 lift in .484 out.512 lobe sep. 112 deg, C/R is 10.5 it has a Offenhauser Dual-Port intake a 600 Holley (vac) and hedders built by a friend who knows what he is doing,the difference in lenght of the primary-tubes is far better then on the Hooker's that are availble here in Sweden.
This combination will (according to my PC Dyno-program)produce 283 hp @5500 rpm and 296 lbs of torque @4000,(accurate?? No idea but thats what it says)and yes it probably will be a almost fast enough car but it wouldn't hurt if it was a little bit faster...You all know how it is don't You? But if it's not as fast as I want it to be I can allways go to plan B :an old but fully functioning Marvin Miller NOS-system thats nesting on a shelf somewhere,that will give me 75-100 hp more to play with.
And if that don't give me enough ooomph I always have a plan C... A small cabin-supercharger out of an old type of a Swedish figther-plane that is taking up space on the same shelf as the nos-system.
But still : It can never be wrong with some more cu-in and if it against all odds should be wrong it's still OK as long as it don't causes any pain...
Time to go to bed,it's 4 in the Sunday-morning here now when I write this (we are aprox. 6-9 hours before You here in Sweden)
All the best to You all,and may the old gods be good to You and Your loved ones: Speed-Swede
