chassis dyno results
 

final results 176 hp, 200 tq. Not street friendly, but really set up for supercharger (eventually). Single Holley 600 cfm, very old Edelbrock intake, Edelbrock heads for supercharger, relieved block, 1.6 valves, Isky single springs, Schnieder cam for supercharger 284-F .433 lift, kinda heavy Arias
3 3/8 pistons for 10 lb of boost, 4" Merc crank and French 6 7/8 rods to use Ford pistons with Merc crank. http://i264.photobucket.com/albums/i...psg1ldodcg.jpghttp://www.fordbarn.com/forum/<a hre...psg1ldodcg.jpg

1985 Mustang, to run XF/GALT at Wilmington, Ohio. It is a ECTA event, one mile timed. Hopefully we will later add the supercharger and run XF/BGALT also.We also run at Bonneville, hold the record for XF/BGALT.

I'm hurt, Ron. I do plan on running this combination in our '32 Roadster later if that makes up for anything.

Saultracer. I didn't mean anything with the NM. I just mis understood your post. In any case 175 hP on a chassis dyno is over 200 on an engine dyno. Pretty stout engine. I'm building a track engine (276), looking for 200 HP with some new ideas. But, I don't think anyone has ever done that on reg gas un blown. Have a friend that has an engine I worked on, that got 235 on gas,#5 boost @ 4500 (red line) but had 300 ft lbs torque @ 3K. The power is out there, but nobody has found it yet. Been allot of clamers tho.

no,no we have the 1950 Merc flathead in a 1985 Mustang body so we can run a certain class. Our competition at Bonneville runs a flathead motor in a Nissan 240 SX.

I saw a flatty in a Ford Probe. Now that was slippery.

Sounds impressive. I guess this means I won't get 150 HP by putting "carbs 'n heads" on my stock 239! Damn!

Put a K&N air filter on it, they're worth 10 HP according to the ads. ;)

Wow, that flathead has so many tubes and things it looks like it's on life support.

Re: chassis dyno results
 

Correct me if I am wrong but is this "thee Kenny Kloth " world record holding flathead? I believe he took it out of his 49 merc to fit a more street friendly flathead some time in 2014. Fact or fiction .

from what I understand those are the heads off of Kenny's car, real high flow low compression. Also I think the engine is turbocharged and electronically fuel injected (completely legal in our class).

Kahuna 04-04-2016 07:01 AM

Re: chassis dyno results
 

Those are Kloth Heads, but not the engine itself, I'm sure.
The record engine was sold many years ago and as far as
is known has never resurfaced. Rumors abound.
I believe the engine itself still sits idle in someone's shop.
Kenny has made more than one set of heads

At Wilmington the records for XF/GALT and XF/ FALT are open. We currently hold the records for XF/BGALT and XF/BFALT at 138 and change.

Dale, thanks and I will definitely be in touch. Phil

Thanks for the update kahuna. You have the correct facts to set the record straight.. Shame the original is languishing in a shop somewhere and not out racing as it was designed to do.
