How about a 560 CI?

[Mac]

I would hope this is going in a RBV, talk about different, one of a kind. It's being build up to run the big sand dunes over in the Middle-East. Going to run a twin turbo when done. Got 3" dia intake valves. When money is I guess no problem.
Might be in the wrong section but took a stab at it.

thats a 6????!!!!! 6 cylinders??? DAMN

If it gets worse mileage then a V8 why would you do it?

Who said it was built for mileage? Power and torque. Class rules limit it to a six cylinder maybe. Can't you just enjoy the work that went into creating that block? Lay back and enjoy life!

I didn't watch the video and assumed it was for the war... sorry. I still don't get the point though...

 

[rusty ol ranger]

Thats a big frickin 6 cyl. .....a bored 2.9 perhaps?

Who gives a crap how many cylinders it has? 3,4,6,8,10,12,175, who cares, it's 560 CI twin turbo!

Besides, who looks at those pictures, reads "3-INCH INTAKE VALVES" and 560 CI, and thinks about mileage? 6s don't necessarily get worse mileage than 8s anyway.

billet block thats awesome. only thing that would impress me more is if that engine was a dohc 24 valve to distribute the air/fuel better. i kno i just spawned a huge argument w/ that statement but a lot of ur major power producing engines use that design. hell the older r1s and the current yfz450 yamahas use a titanium 5 valve design, 3 intake and 2 exhaust, center valve cam timing determines how hard the engine hits. all about port shape and valve angle for more efficient cylinder filling across the rpm band. looks like shes using titanium valves too judging by the copper berillium seats that seat a titanium valve better, using twin injectors on the intake to pump enuff fuel in the cylinder 2 thats insane, unless it runs a wet nos setup...hmm looks very interesting from an engineering perspective.

wow...engine looks awesome....but i think the speaker spit on me with all of the flem the guy was hacking up when he talked

It's probably a methanol setup. On the 2.0l GM ecotec drag cars they run 3 160lb/hr injectors per cylinder in order to feed the 1400hp beasts.

those engine appear to not last long

 

[fordmike1]

Nice looking peice but both died. Looks like they would have been better off with a turbo 231 buick V-6 making the same or more HP and they have proven to be dependable. Maybe more R & D to make them better?? I wouldnt mind having one to play though.

that indeed is insane, i wonder what the head and pistons look like after the methanol ate turned to sugar and ate the aluminum to pieces...carnage...XD

 

[rusty ol ranger]

1400hp from a 2.0L?

Theres no frickin way, they qwould have to turn like 20,000RPM.

That block is a beautiful piece of metal work.
