Out of my price range, no doubt. But interesting.

12-1 compression on pump gas! Technology, I was running 12-1 back in the late seventies using Amaco 100 octane, it wouldn't even poot on anything lessPt 2010, Long Haul 2011,12,13,14,15,16,17, 18, 19, 23

I'm running 11.5:1 in my Corvette.... with much better aluminum heads, EFI and computer controlled ignition... it works fine. In the MT article it talks, briefly, about the head design... suspect that just the heads alone would get much of the gain on any BBC. The other thing was the smaller bore/long stroke... that motor is begging for a turbo - lower the compression but that thing would be insane....Originally posted by corvettedad View PostDoing it all wrong since 1966Comment

lol. right. my motor. my car. I'm more concerned it won't fit under the hood of my Corvette.... you know, the one I ONLY use for drag racing purposes... wouldn't dream of doing anything else. ever. believe you me.Originally posted by studemax View Post
*let's not forget the original 572 came in street and drag flavors.... but all work on 93 octane. so weird GM would mess up like that...Last edited by SuperBuickGuy; October 20, 2021, 12:53 PM.Doing it all wrong since 1966Comment

One of the more interesting comments:
"This just points out how silly the "No Replacement for Displacement" statement is. It has nearly 3 liters more displacement but only produces 4 more horsepower and 74 lb/ft less of horsepower than the Hellephant. Imagine what Mopar would have produced with 3 more liters at its disposable and then strapped the Hellephant's supercharger to it.".Ed, Mary, & 'Earl'

someone was going on about wanting to race a Hellaphant. Told him he'd get him for sure, not because the hellaphant isn't competitive but Mopar was a bit premature in proclaiming that they had fixed the cam tunnel problem. The scuttlebutt is all of them are defective.... just rumor, hearsay.... but still,Originally posted by oletrux4evr View Post
So just imagine
but more to the point, comparing a NA motor to a blown motor isn't comparing the same things. First is getting the larger package to fit, second is complexity, third is NA motors last longer because of less moving parts.....
even taking your point, so what, I think that motor would be amazing with turbos because it's a BBC with LS flow and substantially larger displacement.Last edited by SuperBuickGuy; October 21, 2021, 07:32 AM.Doing it all wrong since 1966Comment
