RodKnock,
I'm all about air flow. The 58mm throttle bores are only 2.283 inches
the 3.000 are 76.2mm. roughly 25% more area
The engine is an all aluminum 565 ci
Its an A96 block with 351 main journals (2.750 vs. 3.000)
forged Ford/Sonny Bryant 4.250 stroke crank with 2.200 rod journals
6.800 rods
TB coated spherically dished 4.600 JE pistons, 11.8-1 @ "0" deck with a .040 gasket.
Charlie Evans ported SCJB heads 2.25 intakes, Isky springs, Titanium retainers, 400 cfm @.800 lift. TB coated combustion chambers and exhaust ports
Danny Bee belt drive
ATI damper
Ed Pink 5 stage dry sump pump with a
oil-air separator
Billet Fab 2 piece pan with piston squirters
Meziere remote 55gpm water pump (reverse flow cooling system)
Roller cam bearings with
oil squirters
Blue thunder Competition valve covers with valve spring oilers
The goal it see how much hp I can make on pump gas, naturally aspirated.
To me, detonation control it key. So I'm working to control the combustion process. Keeping the heat out of the head and the piston.
Anyway, with the 3" throttle bores should offer no intake restriction at whatever
