Re: Horsepower
Yes i thought about something for a booster but never played with that kind of stuff
I put a 327 gear in just want to stay with traffic Oh i do have a 6.0 snyder head but who knows where the compression will end up I will be milling that to be able to get as close to the pistons as close that will be save I've been told i could get by with .025 between them but we will see Hopefully i get the parts back from my machine guy tomorrow Then the fun starts Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Re: Horsepower
Never got it to the dyno (only run stand time ) before someone else had to have it for his little hot rod and bought it from me. I have talked to him and he said that "when you leave a stop light you know that it's not a stock Model A"
I have no doubt that if you get greedy and turn it up it will make enough HP to push the crank out of the bottom |

Re: Horsepower
Isn't doubling the RPM of a model A engine like souping up a rotary? The flywheel becomes a grenade? Just thinking about that huge heavy flywheel in there turning at high speed and the forces on it, when the car changed direction it wants to rotate on the same plane it's on and parts company with the crank?

Re: Horsepower
With all the perceived need for power and speed, remember that ya gotta stop the thing somehow. Don't forget to pay attention to the brakes.

Re: Horsepower
This is going to excess, but fun.
Stops revving about 7300 rpm.

Re: Horsepower
So what is a safe steady speed for the engine mph with 3.27 rear end, burlington crank,
with inserts and rods from antiqueengines, 6.0 head, stipes cam, pistons with plenty of clearance and a pair of heavy boots and a tank of gas! What is a safe rpm range, something in the realm of "normal" |
