Thanks for the info.
I just started playing around with power to weight ratios and cost benefits over going to an OHC motor over the crossflow so was wondering what kind of power people were getting. I have heard figures of 350-360HP quoted for the crossflow, (http://www.xfalcon.com/forum/showthread ... ssie+speed), so thought with a better head design & more modern motor a little extra 40 HP wouldnt be out of reach. Thanks |

Thanks So we are talking horses not killerwasps, very different story then. You may need a $10,000 crank though. (sorry thats not helpful) even still, it would be a pretty stressed motor with a short life span.

I am yet to see a crossflow make 350hp at the wheels N/A. So these are flywheel measurements I'm assuming.
For a start you are going to need some rather exotic head work in order for the engine to breathe the air required at those sorts of power levels. posting.php?mode=reply&f=1&t=87422 I've started on this masterpiece of a thread but progress has been slow for the time being. I am looking at building a budget flowbench to get things happening again and approached the uni for some pointers and they don't want to hear about it. They believe that CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) software is the way of the future and Flowbenches are basically antique benches. |

I know a BF NA XR6 with 230rwkw.
Runs on E85. Pretty quick car but ofcourse $$$$ have been spent.

I've seen a few hemi 6's with 327-350 rwhp that are still very streetable still..What's the average power (rwkw) out of the ohc engine...

no it is not possible, thats around 400 flywheel hp.
i believe if you get a 4 barrel carby manifold from aussie speed and run a 650 you would get up to 250-260 bhp with the right cam and headwork, with a manual box. Last edited by milo 302 on Thu Feb 04, 2010 11:59 pm, edited 2 times in total. |

There was a 265 hemi pacer that won the 6cyl N/A class at the nats for a few years in a row and it only made 250rwhp iirc.
Stock ECU stems from people being tight a***. Same as the hobbs pressure switch and extra injectors in the early days of the VL turbo. Its also a legal requirement nowdays as well but that still doesn't stop people from doing a good job of hiiding their aftermarket ecu's. Testicular fortitude and money go hand in hand. the rich guys are always the ones with balls who either spend big, or spend a little less and aren't bothered by regular mechanical breakages. From a purely mechanical perspective I still think our heads need some serious work (e.g. down drafting) to make that sort of power. |

250 bhp = 185kw at the fly. Thats pretty achievable! It would only be around 150rwkw!

That would of been TNT-265 and would of been 17-18 nats.There was a green centura (xxx-265) that tony luci owns,it put down 350rwhp with 4spd and borgy then come back the year after and put down 351rwhp with powerglide and 9'' and i think it runs 11's down the strip... phill |

It would only be around 150rwkw! 250 bhp is at the tyres not the flywheel, brake horsepower isnt at ther motor only foreign people say that(top gear) it is equivalent to 186.5 kw at the tyres. And yes the hemi 6 makes 350hp at the tyres(coz its a hemi  )
