Well, you said old engine! There's no old V8s unless it is the flat head ford v60. I think they only had a four or three main bearing caps. Those caps keep the crank shaft from walking and snap! broken crank!:headbang
Wonder about the Water Boxer van VW engine? 1982 to 1990?
Rules, cubic inch is about 140 to 160 I don't know what it is. I'm only a fan! Higher the RPM more valve problems. The steel of today is awful! I do have a photo of a duel over head cams Ford Champ Car engine or did have I deleted it. I wonder if AJ Foyt had something to do with it. No cage Champ car.
Then a Chevy V8 that turned 12,000 RPM's about 1965? Duel overhead cam! Those an't midget engines! The engines of yesterday 32 valve V8 engine in your car today! duel over head cams engines.
No V8 engines! 4 cycliders about 174 cid, or 2852 cc with push rods. In the rule book. Duel over head cam engine 16 valves 4 cyclinder 120 cid or 2000cc. LOOKS LIKE IT KILLS YOUR IDEA OF A V8!
6 inline 146 cid or 2393 cc no duel cams
V6 2852 or 174 cid no duel cams!
So, why did they let in the Ford V60?
