you may need to fabricated new motor brackets to lower it about 1 1/16" or so to make it squeeze under a stock stinger hood......... and you may still need to use a dropbase air cleaner

Barry,

Forget it, the NCRS would never allow a nonoriginal bracket and I need the car to be stock.

Best regards,

How about the 815 CID Kaase Engineering engine the IHRA Pro Stockers run? I understand it's 1500 HP. Little tall, though...

I'll only be satisfied when I'm too afraid to even turn the key. :eek

I figure somewhere around 3,000hp oughtta do it.

There was a great car show on the History channel last night called "Automaniac" and hosted by that "pro wrestler" Goldberg. Some neat stuff, all BIG engine things, like a twin jet engine fire truck, tank motored cars, and including the Boss Hog bikes and the Chrysler Tomahawk (Viper V-10) "bike". Highly recommended viewing.

Here's the solution for street torque, but it DOES require minor modifications to package it

Won't fit a Vette ..But it is Chromed.....

If that's the intake, I want the same size exhaust.

VNV, that collecter pipe would be a direct fit for the new headers on my 572.

is there one of those custom air cleaner covers available that will fit this so when you open your hood at shows you won't blister the paint on the hood....... :eyerole

John,

That's a modular engine, which can be built in four-cylinder multiples from a V-8 to a V-20; they're made by the MTU subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz, and are intended for stationary applications, locomotives, smaller ships, and larger yachts.

Have engine and questions.

Well, problems with clutch adjustment of the Keisler trans/Sachs clutch and charging system have stalled progress for today. The engine fires and runs but an errant wire hookup may have fried the ignition coil. There is oil coming out of the ignition nipple and that ain't good. The system is charging at the correct voltage but the ammeter gauge is acting crazy so that may also have been cooked. I will get a new coil and gauge to check the system tomorrow. Even though its running thru the original exhaust manifolds and an Allen SS chambered exhaust this thing is LOUD and NASTY sounding. I hope to drive it to Stahl headers in York Pa. tomorrow (God willing) and Jere will fabricate a set of headers that will tap into the 4" hooker sidepipes with sweet thunder baffles (2 1/2"). BTW mike at sweet thunder said he will have 2 7/8" baffles in the near future (too bad not now). Also some additional items for anyone considering this conversion. 1) the parking brake assembly is a problem (no room) for 67 cars, mine is now disconnected and I will have to figure something out later. 2) Alternater lower bracket also may need some work or headers will need work, again needs room. 3) etc, etc, etc. Did I say this thing sounds NASTY? Sorry my pics are too large for this post. Well, as Scarlet said "Tomorrow is another day".

Best regards,
Gerry

More problems with the clutch assembly and MSD ignition system. I will post details after I sort things out. It definitely is not an easy drop in for the trans and the engine.
