How much heat would be produced to get this much HP? I am guessing enough to a small house let alone the poor sap behind the wheel. With my 350 hp engine the aluminum radiator put out a blast of air

Doug, Thinking. A dangerous thing to do, on this list. I think you may have inadvertently let Mayf's 'Cat' out of the bag. As you know, the land speed record for "automobiles" requires the power be d

I think that that trick was good on the MOPAR engines. I think that it was their small blocks. I seem to remember that it changed the torque curve in a rather radical manner. Sorry. Ray wrist pin

I don't pretend to play an engineer on TV, but I know that the SVO pistons have a relocated pin in them that means that you have to use a longer rod. I know that ALL of the major Ford engine builder

Thanks for the note. I will try to ask some of my friends at Ford SVO to explain why and how the rods make more power. If they are willing to explain, I will post it. Regards, Ray At 10:44 PM 10/4/9

Heat would be a little less than that put out by a NASCAR engine. They use (generally) Stewart water pumps, and Griffin radiators. Remember, this is not a stop and go car, rather, it is used for flat

They didn't use "old" parts. They used new, off the shelf, in stock parts. Don't think you'll find that this mod was from "Ford". Makes an awful racket at the lower RPM's, and was a rodder's mod. As
