Yes . this one is over 700 hp . but for the critics i'll be going to the chassis dyno at the end of the summer to see for real......

Then you have a M/T Blown tempest dragster, a rail with 2 Tempest 4 Cyl motors & here is one from the phoenix area with a Tempest 4 cyl with an adaptor plate with a chevy 409 valve cover on it.

Thanks for the pictures. very cool!

Mine is just a stock thick block crank. The thin blocks come with a very noticeable weaker crank... There 10lbs lighter too........

Thought I heard it bouncing off a limiter!!

I dont know how big a stroke you can shove in one of these. I know Mickey Thompson stroked them. Here is a couple pictures of one of his Tempest motors with a large curved plate bolted to the left side of the block. I can only assume it is for crank/rod throw clearance. Also is a cool way of checking out the inside!!! .060 overbore with stock stroke is an even 200CI. Should be pretty easy to go with a custom crank & a 2" rod end & stroke it another 1/4" without any internal interference. Dont quote me on that, just numbers out of my head. CRS may be kicking in.

Keith,
I had a real WTF moment when I saw the 409 rocker cover on the 195. What kind of ets does it run? Injected on alcohol?

[mechanickeith]

Dont know the times, Carb on gas. I didnt see it but was given the pictures by Steve Barcak who was at the event it was at. I took a double take also. Here is the other Pic I have. This was at Speedworld in Whitman Az.

[Jack Gifford]

A ninety degree crank will be odd-fire... period. Doesn't matter what firing order you build the cam to do.

Keith- Is the "expanded crankcase" engine the one that they put a steel plate on top of the block to allow for a huge stroke? I don't remember just how huge- 5" or more? All I remember for sure is Fritz telling about not being able to get dyno results, due to the horrible shaking!

As for that burnout... track prep left something to be desired...

[mechanickeith]

Jack,,,Here is a front view of that motor. Looks like it has at least 1/2" maybe 3/4" plate between block & head.

Sometimes those plates are for the hole the rod made in it. Lol! But i see what you're talking about with the way its rased up.....
