Sprint car motors?
Just a quick update, if anyone cares, My last outing at the Dragstrip netted some 9 sec runs (9.97 @ 136 MPH) still on pump gas and driven to local shows and around town. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't drive it to Columbus from here, but nun the less, it el go down the road.
Still haven't spent much time on the 60' best was 1.5 . leaving a lot on the table there. I think i'll get some runs in this summer, stay tuned.
My good friend, retired Chrysler powertrain engineer Greg Charney, built his '68
Dart with a modified version of the MP sprint car engine. He drives it on the street
and it goes very low 10's at the strip. Greg had his car in our tent at the Nat's the
last two years.
The MP sprint car engine does not resemble the civilian A-motor in many respects,
especially the cylinder heads.
