Well I usually keep our test engines out of the public but, being this is a Dart Board and we like to talk, I thought all you guys would like this one.
For some time, we have been making these Monster mouse engines bigger, more powerful and more reliable.
Anyway, 4.63 @ 158.6 • 4.62 @ 158.9 • 4.61 @ 158.5 or something real close to that in a 64-65-66 Nova door car with one of our 9" Spragless, yes I said spragless converters. Now the car was scaled and recorded weight of 2175. Do the math and you will see what the HP was.
The engine was a combination of CFE symetrical port heads and his always killer sheet metal manifolds wiith the Dart aluminum block being stuffed full with our special crank and Keith Groden Aluminum Billet rods, talk about being tight around that camshaft. The cnc was a huge help in getting all that in there. To say at the least, it was time consuming and tedious.
This engine has a lot left in it as far as tuning and the driver. When asked what the engine was turning at the big end, I was told "I could not tell you anything, I was just along for the ride".
We have 2 more of these engines being built right now and will be planning on 1st of the year knock outs around the country with some better suited cars that will cut the air a ton better.
