Excellent job Royce! Those are some very impressive numbers. Now all you need is your pilot's license.

I don't have a home for this motor at present.. I want to try some other things on it before I put it in a chassis.
A few more details.. 312 block bored .030 312 Crank offset ground to 3.62 stroke with 2" rod journal
Rods are NASCAR used. 6.5 " Light I beams with 19mm wrist pin (tiny). I had Wiseco make a custom forged piston with 1/16 1/16 3/16 ring package and 10cc dome. Heads are nicely ported and have 2 inch intake 1.6 exhaust 71 cc chambers. Blue Thunder intake also ported. Cam I mentioned earlier. Static compression comes in between 11 and 11.25:1 Best power was a Holley 850 Double pumper on 110 gas. Best torque was a 750 DP running E-85
I intended to run it out to 7000 rpm but anyone who has done a dyno session kows what a thrash it can be, and I simply forgot. Power had pretty much peaked at 6600 and the dyno operatior does not like going higher unless asked.

Royce, Congratulations on a great effort. That is a solid 1.3 hp per cu. in. (WOW!). And the torque kept climbing to 5000 rpm and remained relatively flat. What ever this engine is destined for is going to fly.

Great numbers Royce. I’ll assume a forthcoming article for the Y-Block Magazine is in the works? Keep up the good work.

Very nice results and I will agree with Charlie that HP numbers were still going up. If you get a chance post a video of it running. I would love to hear it.
