What do I need to build the 224hp motor? I'm just starting a build and have no idea what to do for a powerplant. I thought a Subaru swap might be the cheap way to go but I'm not sure.
I enjoyed the video it did seam to be a fun gettogether ? I guess the community is smaller than i thought because it does appear everyone knew each other
good question... unfortunately i can't remember the exact number, if clyde didn't mention it in the video you'll have to call him up and get the straight scoop.
Miguel Gonzalez the camshaft is the brain of the engine. As for racing, the cam is always a secret. Grew up racing, family of engine builders, I can’t have friends without a secret custom camshaft grind. It’s real.
it looks like i asked him in the video: "what have you got here clyde, seven to one compression" and he said yes... he must have told me ahead of time, so i was able to toss it out like that, to get him going... knowing clyde, i think that if it wasn't 7.0:1, he would have corrected me there.
I remember That Day , Thanks for sharing.

The SoCal guys all know each other from races and car shows, and the out of town guys are known from internet forums, Facebook, etc.

merla118 it’s the brain of the engine. In racing it’s always a secret. Its real, you’re just naive.
