Default Re: OT: The forklift company that went racing with a water pump

GM was first to offer a street engine with 1 hp per cubic inch in their 283 with fuel injection.
Put a good OHC head and turbo or blower on a Burtz and I think you could produce 450+ hp. You won't get it using the stock A intake/exhaust ports. I also think you can't get enough lift out of a cam that will fit through the stock cam journal size.

Today most NA race engines are 2-2.5 hp per cuin. My 310" Cleveland is 650 hp with a single 4 bbl.

Ya gotta love a guy with a dyno in his backyard.
