Is it hard to build a good old American V8 to 1 or 1.1 hp/cui flywheel naturally aspirated? Are there any designs that disqualify from the beginning because of inherent flaws? Are there any designs that disqualify for further power increases through forced induction or nitrous because of inherent flaws?
429 cubic inches of fuck yeah
Is it hard? No. All but like,5 or 6 of Chevy's crate engines are more than 1HP/CI.
It would be a pain to add forced induction after you've already built it up to be decently powerful and N/A, since you'd have to run high-comp shit.
What about dumping nitrous into the thing until the desired power output once the internals are strengthened?
I mean if you build an 11.5 to 1 screamer that revs to the moon them you put a bar of boost on it you're going to have a bad time without race gas all the time
What's your power goals and what engine? Do you value driveability? Are you ok with fucking up your rings something fierce
engine masters i think got 600hp(?) out of an internally stock 305 sbc by just fogging the everliving fuck out of it with nitrous.
it wasn't until the 700hp mark or something that the thing blew up. I'd have to watch the episode again.
KKK to find the required CFM for your engine the equation is
(CID X RPM X VE)/3456
Random user from last thread, as previously stated, got my hands on a 67' Buick Special, was thinking of dropping an LM7 into it.
Though, got a few engine options but the LM7 seems like by far the best choice.
Anyone encountered any issues with dropping a modern LSx into an A-body besides the usual engine mounts?
