New performance Slant article in Hot Rod

One thing that was said about the Hot Rod article was the owner wanted it to be N/A with no boost or nitrous. Goal was to reach 300 to 325 HP N/A. Rich Nedbal who wrote the article also built the engine as a challenge.He is well known as the go to guy for fuel injection and building mostly Gen 2 Hemi's. they did the fuel injection even though the engine would be raced with a carburetor.A 500 AFB was used knowing a 600-750 Holley would make more power.To this day it still has a 500 AFB on it.Also a Offenhauser intake. Many Slant racers feel that the Clifford is a better manifold and makes more power.

Looks like he achieved his goal. I just never wanted that uphill battle that the builder of a n/a slant six, faces with that difficult to work with cylinder head.

I use an Aussiespeed Hurricane manifold which may, or may not, be better than a Clifford, with a turbo. I am not sure if it makes much difference. When I bought this long-runnner manifold, Aussiespeed had not yet, released the short-runner version, but I'd like to try one. Right now, I don't have $550.00 burning a hole in my pocket, though...:pale:
