in my books still a cheater and always will be a cheater. if you can't follow the rules, shows how incompetent they are. they can claim to be smart but in reality dumb. something so simple as following the rules gets them stumped.it's always nice to see guys break rules and fail though
That great. Sorry you still didn't make it, but it sure wasn't from a lack of trying. Did the lifter bores check out by the numbers as correct?
i agree.. what sucks is 2 were basically cheating which means they would have only had 3 motors to run if they booted them also.. i hope people get more interested in this though.. i really liked the old engine masters or whatever it was called
The lifter bores were off location, the digital probe doesn't lie, our theory was correct. But they have been bushed and are now correct. I tried to get the engine back together this morning, until I realized I did not have the head gaskets I needed. Been drinking beer since, lol
The skirted block can't be widened.
yeah, never really thought bout how much of a difference that can make..
If you plug all the data into PipeMax for a 700 hp engine, from worst case oil pan (factory) with thick oil to best dry sump system with thin oil, the difference is 90 hp. There is huge power to be found in oil control.
i think it's theonly mopar... and yeah they did like half a pull then started taking it apart
Raised exhaust are allowed
Dont even
You gave it all you could.
Sean....did you go up to get the block? I know you're busy, but I hope you got to meet Kevin. He's a good guy to know!
That's the problem, it's not clearly defined. Like Greg said, it should be determined from the deck surface. Raised port heads typically have a raised valve cover rail also, to keep enough area to seal the intake. To the casual observer, it looks similar to stock. But the rules prohibit it.
That is very good output from a factory block. Well done.
Then they need to hold the hard line and DQ every single raised port engine.
