Gary I sold my 301 Stroker a couple of years ago, and most of the paperwork went with the new owner.

Mne did not se any offset grinding on the GMC 292 crank, I used a fluid Dampner for a SBC, had to grind the rear face of the crank to take the OHC-6 flywheel, used eagle forged H beam rods for a Toyota Supra, with the big end shaved to fit the 292 crank. Custom Ross Pistons to fit the rods, 0.030 overbore of my best 250 block. Modified the 1bbl head spring pockets for LS beehive springs.

How'd you join 2 OHC6 blocks together to make it a V-12?

I forgot about that one
wish I would have known it was for sale.
Im also thinking 68-9 1 bbl head and 66-7 4bbl valves along with spacers under lash adjusters,I have a few reground performance cams to use.
What crank did you use? cast or forged? full counterweight?
piston weight and comp height?rods length?

block and crank clearance?

I did a quick search online and found a 301 claiming it was dynoed at 370/390 hp/tq
but the owner must have been posting it on Facebook which Im not connected to.
If anyone has details of this build I would like to hear more.

Gary, that is the highest HP NA OHC 6 build that I am aware of. Brent H who was half of Primatech built it. The only details I have is it is an all out 301 , massive head port work, solid adjustable lash adjusters, huge cam, Primatech header and side draft Webbers. Probably has a ton of money in it. My “guess” is close to 15K. You need to join FB and look us up. Overhead Cammers Chapter Forum.

I used to stay in touch with Brent,but in the last 10 yrs or so have been focused on caring for parents.
Im not looking to build a non streetable stroker,just something with more grunt that appears stock.
I wish there was a forum for OHC-6 vs using FaceBook,as Im not a fan.
Oh wait there is...this forum. I gave up on YuKu when it crashed and we lost so much valuable info.
Had we only known to have it all backed up.

Gary, the Toyota rods I used were just under 6", 5.984" if I remember correctly, My street 301 dynoyed at 294HP at 5200 RPM, ( hit a wall at around 5800 RPM, just not enough cam to feed the cylinders with the stock head even with porting and bigger valves) and a massive 428 ft lbs at 2200 rpm. It used to pull the front wheels about 4" off the ground on a good launch with slicks.

It was a very good street engine, but the loss in higher rpm limited in the 1/4 mile.

And the 292 crank counter weights were cut down, balancing was done by drilling and adding heavy metals to the cut down counter wights. The block was also clearanced, and the oil fill tup probably should have been run outside the pan. Instead I lengthened it ran it below the oil pan bolts on the passenger side, and welded in a bulge on entire length of the oil pan to clear the tube. Ran a stock but ported intake manifold, the largest long tube clifford headers I had on hand, and a custom HEI Distributor. Along with the T-5 Transmission, and the 4.11 rear gears it was a very streetable combo.

I just kinda lost interest in it when the guy who owned the 5.0 Mustang it was built to suddenly passed away. Took alot of fun out of it. And when I purchased the LS2 Powered Solstice, I just did not drive it anymore. Didn't see myself owning another cammer until the California Sprint FB popped up a couple of years ago. This one will stay mostly stock.

thanks for info on this
That torque number is very impressive.
What cam and head were you running?

I have several to chose from and am thinking the .490 lift one is a good cam for an automagic(200-4R) with a corvette converter.

I actually ran a 68 1bbl head, with bigger valves (can not remember what valves I ran off the top of my head, Single LS beehive valve springs, the CR was 9.2 to one so it ran well on unleaded premium 91-91 octane. I tried a custom grind cam (still have it somewhere) but I was not happy with the results, so I ended up running a stock H-Cam. I also dialed it in for torque with an adjustable cam sprocket. Beating my buddies Mustang stop light to Stop light was the goal, and that it did very well.
The picture of me on the road course was a Trans Am Reunion event at Waterford Hills MI, I was actually faster than the 289 powered mustangs that day, I was not faster than the 1970 TA or the Red Mustang coupe running a very nice 351. Those 2 cars lapped me. But the rest of the mustangs were either equal or slower than my Yellow 69. I impressed the Mustangs quite a bit. One of them came up and said he was wrong about laughing at my car when I 1st opened the hood. He was driving the Blue GT350 replica, we battled it out for a few laps, until I finally got under him going into one of the corners, then the torque coming out of the corner left him behind.
Non of the straights on that track are long enough to let the lack of upper end HP hurt me that day. It was a fun car, but you can't keep them all. The guy I sold it to mad a T/A replica out of it. Nice build, but kinda a shame. The engine went to a father and son in Alabama. I don't know if they have done anything with it. But they drove up one weekend to pick it up.

He is not related to Jerry. That is the engine that Brent H built. (Primatech) Brent is the best one to get the specs. Not very many are building strokers any more. Most are going with EFI and turbo builds. FYI
