It is so easy and cheap to slow a big motor (HP) down...AIR RESTRICTION...It is either go or no go when you tech them....KEY WORD TECH!!!.....take the TB or EFI off have a gauge that is the predetermined size and go if it fits and no if it is loose....but still we do not want to price ourselves completely out of business...
Bach to you HONEST DAD!!!!
Just don't box yourself in. Always leave an out. There are some v/6 motors out there right now that can be had on the cheap with as much power in stock form as an Esslinger . No body wants them, USAC ran them off years ago when they were push rod and Poweri kinda of likes to stick with inline 4 that's fine.
I guess a v/6 cyl would be a 3/4 sprint. Ain't tried that name yet.
Oh yea a few years ago USAC tried that and an old boy by the name of Glen Niebel of Edingerg Indiana whipped their butts but good with that lil 6 cylinder motor. Smoke what's his name was his driver.
