This is what I’m building for my ‘62 Safari wagon. I’ve got a fair amount of race parts laying around so I thought I’d get some use out of them. The entire short block is from the 500” alcohol motor that made 1050hp. I sold the Tiger heads and matching manifold so the top end is different. This engine will go in front of a Liberty LSC5100 5-speed.
IA2 4.35
Crower billet ultra light 4.21 3” mains
Venolia pistons on aluminum MGP 6.800 rods
Comp cams solid roller, 4/7 swap, Intake 288@.050, .477 lift, Ex. 290@.050, .462 lift. Lift with 1.8 rockers is In..859 Ex..832 Crower lifters
Kauffman high ports, 70cc flow 405@.800 Jesel shaft 1.8 rockers Compression should come in around 12:1
Intake is starting out as a Gutsram but will end up being cut up, lowered, home built (kinda) Frankenstein like bathtub with two 850 holleys.
This will not in any way be a race car. It’ll be my once in a while giggle to work or town car. It will also tow the funny car and have the body stand, starter, and battery pack in it.
