Re: I'm building a forged 346.

The idea of a light weight 346 is a neat one, but for $1500 more you can add 40 cubic inches with an all bore motor. It's easy to see why someone would go that route. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Scat used to have a small pile of custom stroke cranks lying around.... 3.900 stroke, no reluctor wheel. They were made for Mallet. Price was like $2200. Imagine that crank with a big bore. Would be a nice motor.

Re: I'm building a forged 346.

IMO Terry, to me it is no challenge to build a big ci motor to get alot of hp, well sometimes it is if the one building it know there ****. It's a challenge to build a small ci and achieve the same or more hp's than a big ci motor!!!!

Now that's what im after and that to me is a big challenge which I will get there!!!

Re: I'm building a forged 346.

Now how are you going to get more out of the 346ci w/out a power adder? You can solid roller all you want too and still will not put out as much rwhp/rwtq as a 422ci.. If this was possible I am sure someone would have done it. So far the biggest # I have seen out of a 346ci NA was posted by Gordon Sevins of 460rwhp..

Oh also George, Craig ask me to ask you about that cam you had gotten from him, what you did with it??????<hr /></blockquote>The block was so twisted up, that the cam would not even move in the block, and 6 of the lobes were heavily damaged from the shrapnel flying around in the engine. It went in the dumpster along with the block (still in the block, since it wouldn't come out).

It has worked very well for me so far. I have GTP heads and plan on a 150 shot very soon.
