Been workin with my engine builder/step dad on getting his new engine in his car and ready to race. After a couple years of gathering parts, machine work, and all the preparation that goes into a high caliber engine build, the engine is finally done, in the car, fired, and ready to race. So what is it going to run?
1964 Plymouth Fury (I know it’s not an a body)
3385lbs race ready
4.56 gears
31.25x12.2W-15 phoenix drag slick
727 Torqueflite 2.45 first gear
8” Turbo action 6700 stall converter
Footbrake car
Caltrac rear suspension with menscer shocks
Torsion bar front suspension with santhuff front shocks from Marty Rinehart
New engine is a 572” wedge
14.94:1 compression
Indy aluminum block
440-1 heads
Jesel 1.7 rockers
285/296 @ .050
.825/.800 gross lift
111 LSA
Indy single plane intake
Bob Book racing dominator w/ 1” HVH tapered spacer
4.500” 8 counterweight crower forged crankshaft
Cp Carrillo 7.150” steel rods
4.500” bore custom diamond pistons gas ported lightened skirts coated
.043/.043/3mm rings
Gapless top ring Napier 2nd ring
Jesel belt drive
Charlie’s oil pan
2 1/8”x4” hooker super comp headers
Moroso 4 vane enhanced vacuum pump
Old setup was very similar but smaller engine. Was a 540 with 4.500 stroke and 4.3750 bore. Other small differences but not worth mentioning. Car has been in the 5.70s many times with a 5.74 best @ 119.xx MPH.
This Sunday we are going to a track rental at our local track to get the car down the track.
So the question is, what are predictions on what it will run?
