Guess the horsepower game 6.20.20 #2
« on: June 20, 2020, 06:12:48 AM »
Ok, putting up a couple of interesting builds that I thought would be worth having a GTH game with.   Waiting on lifters for one and waiting on the motor plate and pump for the other, but they will be dyno'd hopefully within the next couple weeks.   I'll do a game for each.  Same rules, closest without going over on corrected horsepower gets some goodies.  I got some shirts in a few weeks ago, so I'm planning for that to be the prize.

This is the second engine that's "game-worthy" I think.  I try to just post games where something is out of the ordinary, not a typical build, different head, funky cam, funky combo, etc. 

This one is going in a '66 Galaxie road race car.  Gentleman lives in AZ, owns a Shelby Cobra replica with a 428 and owns this Gal that he wants to start road racing.  Weird flex, but ok....  I wanted to build a combination for him that would not need a freshen up every season, so I chose components that would last a very long time and would be dependable:  rock solid block, bullet proof valvetrain, camshaft with non-aggressive lobes, dry sump system, etc. 

The block is a BBM block, prepped with our normal block prep:  bored and honed with plates to a 4.350" finished bore size.  Mains were align honed to size and the decks were corrected and squared to 10.150".  Standard Durabond FP-01 cam bearings. 





Crankshaft was a custom Scat piece.  Scat will make some great custom cranks if you ask them.  This one is a 3.780" stroke, with a 2.200" rod journal, made in their "Superlight" series, which has undercut counterweights, gundrilled mains, scalloped flywheel flange, etc.  It's beautiful and only weighs 54 lbs.  The crank and rods ride on some coated Clevite race bearings. 





Rods are K1 7" pieces.  Again, really nice rods, rated for 1000 hp with the fasteners that are included and they are light as well. 

Pistons are custom Diamonds, running Total Seal .043/.043/3mm low tension rings.  Compression ratio works out to be 11.5:1.



If you're keeping track, this is a 449 cubic inch displacement. 

Camshaft is one of my custom solid rollers, 256/264 @ .050", with a 107 LSA installed 2° advanced.  Lift is .700"/.675" gross, with a 1.8:1 rocker arm ratio.  The cam is pushing some Morel pressure fed solid roller lifters. 



Cylinder heads are out of the box prepped TFS heads.  They were ordered bare with valves and fitted with some custom valvetrain components, consisting of Manley Nextek springs and Manley titanium retainers.   The deck surfaces were skimmed to bump the compression up a hair and the heads were milled for T&D race rockers.   Between the lifters and the rockers are custom Trend 3/8" .135" wall pushrods.







On top is a Joe Craine ported TFS Track Heat intake.  It flows over 450 cfm and has been ported and balanced by Joe.  On top of that will be a 2" Super Sucker carb spacer and a custom Quick Fuel Q-950, with Braswell road race bits and pieces. 





Ignition is a locked-out MSD Pro Billet distributor. 

Supplying the oil is a fully-custom Aviaid road race system.  The pan was custom made for us because of the room constraints that we have.  It's a 4 stage system, 3 suck, 1 blow.   Everything will be mounted to the front engine plate, including the tank, pump, oil filter adapter, etc. 

The water pump is a CVR unit with one of Jay's water pump adapters and he will be turning a 1-wire alternator. 

On top is a set of custom sheet metal valve covers.  The Aviaid pump should pull quite a bit of crankcase vacuum.  I had some plugs made for the valve covers and if they don't suffice, we will go another route. 



When the engine is completely finished and sitting on the cradle, I'll snap some finished pics.

So what do you think it will make?

Interesting build Brent.

I'm guessing 633HP.

Great looking FE components.
Love the T&D race rocker set up.
Was the milling of the TFS heads (for the rockers) similar to the Edelbrock procedure? It looks similar.

I really like the camshaft choice - 107 LSA +2 Advance should work very well.

I will certainly watch this build.

Cheers

Yes sir, very similar, except you just have to take a lot more off because the stands on the TFS heads are raised.

Is “A lot” a legitimate guess?  ;D

Didn’t think so...

690 HP

678 hp.  Joe-JDC  However, this one may be a real sleeper and go 718 HP at 1.6 hp/ci.

I give up on guessing!

But I'd like to see a pic or two of the car as that year in road-racing is rare indeed. In fact, I can only think of a NASCAR race at say Riverside Raceway (with road-race turns!) long ago that would have hosted that model year 1966 Galaxie in a real road event, not just the ovals.

Love the crank too. Heck, all the parts look great.

I am going for 685 hp

Request that you add or subtract vacuum until my number is good or the wrist pins starve  LOL
