January 27, 201412 yr #42 Prolly wouldnt win many street races but it would sure looking impressive turning every gear
January 27, 201412 yr #43 Don't think you'd even bother with street races if you had 1800hp! You can be pretty comfortable you'd win on a track...
February 6, 201412 yr #44 Hi Daryn,would you be able to tell me what size head stud the engine was running?
March 29, 201412 yr #45 Author Hi Daryn,would you be able to tell me what size head stud the engine was running?Sorry for the late reply Brad. I'm pretty sure they're 14.3mm from memory. The new rods have finally turned up. Custom billet alloy by a company in the U.S. called R&R. The motor should be going back together next week.Rated to 2200hp and 11000rpm. I don't plan on pushing it that hard but I'd rather a bit of extra reliability rather that saving a few grams on a conrod.

March 31, 201412 yr #48 Author A few pics of the head before it goes on the motor. Solid roller rockers and double valve springsCnc ports Cnc combustion chamber, 4mm oversize intake valves, 2mm oversize exhaust valves and beryllium valve seats
March 31, 201412 yr #49 It is insane in regards to the amount of work that has gone into this engine.The fine details as well, especially with the images above.Rip Spiro, I hope you are watching from above and take pride of what you see.
