Can I build 2? [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]
Since I normally dare to be different, I'd like to try a couple different "stock appearing" builds...both starting with old 502 short decks, stock 163 intake w/ worked Camaro/Chevelle exhaust manifolds, but one a big bore (4.56"
short stroke (3.76"
combo just shy of 500 cubes, and the other with the same bore (4.56"
but throw some arm at it (4.375"
for an old school 572...and then see which got down the track the best on the Polyglass!
I've always wondered if the lesser torqued/higher revving Pro Stock style engine wouldn't be easier to launch, but run into breathing issues with the stock parts due to the increased revs...and everyone says to always build the biggest engine you can afford, but I'm thinking the torque could make the combo a nightmare off the line? Guess that's why we race 'em on the track and not paper...
