Iv'e been on this forum for a while and I mostly read. I had a pretty good idea of what I was going to build but I went to a mud race last night and saw a class dominated by rats and i cant take it. So now im starting my plans from scratch. I need close to a 1000hp+or-.

609ci limit
no tunnelrams, superchargers,injections or nitrous
single carb(alcohol carb allowed)
no unconventional heads or alluminum block

There are limitations on the truck itself but as far as the engine goes thats pretty much it. I dont think i left any restrictions off, now all i need is some suggestions to get me pointed in the right direction. Thanks

Depends on what they consider "unconventional" heads . Are A460 heads allowed?

 

[76mudplayer]

A460 are allowed pretty much hemis are just left out

 

[76mudplayer]

the a heads are probably what i will build around but want to see other ideas

 

[Lem Evans]

A big A460 deal will get more than 1,000 HP.

i'd run alchol, runs cooler and fuel is cheaper, big plus in my book for the mud. you guys running rails or full bodied trucks?

 

[76mudplayer]

Full bodied trucks. Fiberglass front and bed sides allowed. Gutting allowed also

If you gotta run a carb.......Q16 gas at that power level with a carb.

X2 ... I realize you might be interrested in other heads but, actually the only question is which "A" head do you want to run.
There really is no other option if the Boss is not allowed...

so you would go with gas over alc carb? pros and cons?

 

[Lem Evans]

I think you said...no injection?
1,000 + Hp engines want BIG carbs.........BIG alky carbs are TURDS!

iron head,or alum? how about a c head?
