  • I bought a Dodge nascar motor! So fired up about this new project build. It’s a Mopar R3 block with the match set of Mopar W8 heads and 598 intake manifold! This motor has all kinds of features that a regular small block mopar dosnt have! Check it out!

    Great purchase. Those motors crank the rpm’s. If you have to give the plate back make a copy for yourself, even out of plastic or something so you have the template if you decide to use it down the road. This is going to be a great series.

    My brother, along with a machine shop in our area did a 417ci....4.185 x 3.79 W8 many years ago for my back-half Dart that I routinely drove on the street. 9" deck, 48* lifter, 15* Craftsman Truck W8, a 420 intake, Ti valves, Jesel valvetrain and a wet sump (external pump). Sent the heads and intake to MBE to be tuned up for drag racing. Peak intake flow was 402cfm @.800. Nowhere near a max effort engine, but I did run C-12 (cheaper than C-25 lol) on the street due to it's 13.8 compression.
    Turbo 400 trans, 5.14 rear gear, with an Ultimate 8" converter that flashed to 7200rpm. 400+ ci versions of these engines in max N/A configuration are capable of over 1000hp with a cast single. Brett Miller is an expert on these things and is a guy that could probably help you if you run into an issue.
    Best numbers on an inertia dyno for our deal with VP C-25 was 898hp @8200 and 657tq that I don't remember the rpm off hand. Eventually sold the car to a good friend who raced it at LVD and in not so great air it ran some 8.60s just as we drove it on the street through Spintech 4" mufflers and on Hoosier Quick Time Pro tires 33x17x15. Car was a barrel of monkeys to drive around.

    Awesome! Not sure that oil pan would fit in dart chassis. There are adapter plates that go between head and headers. I've just got an R3 motor, with Indy heads. But depending on how much machine work they did on inside of motor, they're probably pretty different. Good Luck!! Looks pretty good.

The combination of the engine and the aero package the NASCAR Dodge Truck teams were running made this combination very formidable. Jimmy Hensley at Petty, Ted Musgrave, Bobby Hamilton, Bob Kesolowski, etc... all ran and won many races and a few NASCAR Truck Championships. Thanks for the update. God Bless.

    Brother i am excited to see this. I have never really got to see the W8.
    In the 80s i built a W2 head engine. Once you commit to the W heads you are very limited on available parts. Well you was back then anyway. I bought everything through Direct Connection from a speed shop in Huntsville Alabama. They did all the balance, blueprinting and machine work for me.
    Congratulations, that is a incredible opportunity to buy this engine.
    Talking about all the tricks, porting, blending and the hundred other little things that these types of shops do. They end up being a one off (or 6 off depending on how many engines they run) searching for that last drop of performance.
    Seriously this is such a cool find. Cannot wait for more information and and seeing inside.

    Just wondering how that engine made 600++ hp with a 390 carb? How those heads, cam and intake worked with such little fuel? Hard to believe. Back in the 70's and 80's Holley made that great 500 2 barrel which so many Ford guys used on their 289/302 for a quick bolt on that make a BIG improvement. Any new factory crate engine is FAR superior to anything that was available stock then like say a 69 HEMI, 427 BBC, etc. all now have superior drop ins. I feel a LOT of the HP gains are attributed to the superior AL heads and perfect machining of each port so they match not like the old cast iron heads with misalignment issues, etc. and naturally cam design and roller cams themselves were barely a dream back in 69.

I think you will be safe at 8,000

    Why would you want to drill and modify the oiling system of the block that wasn't engineered that way? Everybody that does hardcore racing dreams of going dry sump. If it was me, I would try to buy the whole NASCAR dry some system and adapt it to the 68 Dart.

    • @SimpsonsSpeedShop
      @SimpsonsSpeedShop  7 месяцев назад

      Some people say dry sump is not good for the street. No oil dripping on cam at low rpm. Stock motor and the other r3 are open in the valley for this reason and to return oil to the pan. To buy an entire dry sump set up that would work the way this motor is now is also very expensive.

  • @rickbatey1548
    @rickbatey1548 3 месяца назад

    I think you need to retain the dry sump oiling to help control the temperature. With the Siamese bores there’s no water and cooling the pile before pumping it into the block will help with temperature control. Plus you don’t need to contaminate the block with chips trying to add drain back holes.

    • @SimpsonsSpeedShop
      @SimpsonsSpeedShop  3 месяца назад

    The 390 cubic feet per minute carburetor is a restriction I believe on a few tracks, but mostly just for Busch racing, the Cup racers were allowed to use the larger carburetor with the same engine.
    And with the larger carburetor, these things were turning nine grand RPM at a lot of race tracks. Given the dimensions on that block, I'm wondering if that was made for a mid-length track like a mile and a half or a little bit larger. Where you don't get to the top end RPM. Has been a while since I've been really deep into the NASCAR stuff. But I've always been a Mopar fan.
    NASCAR engines have been dry sump for most of my life. And the last time I recall, they used a 15 QT sump. Did wonders for keeping the oil fresh and clean incapable of lasting the length of a race at multiple thousands of RPMs.
    Play Darrell Waltrip said when they come out with all the extra dials to show you what all was happening at different parts of the engine. And he commented that the way he drove you hold the gas pedal to the floor until the end of the race or until all the smoke comes out. That's it!
    Run a dry sump. The engine is already set up for it and it's a much cleaner way to run the vehicle. It will run much smoother that way.
    I just thought of something, with the longer stroke and smaller pistons, could be a torque motor for a short track.
    I'd like to remind you that you're not english, quit mispronouncing the word project. It doesn't have a long o in it. LOL

First I would like to ask you because your HP is already in the serious range what kind of motor mounts do you have and would it be more feasible to change that system to a motor plate and a mid plate or would that be too much and take away the originality of your gem of a muscle car ??? I do know it would be a better and stronger system for racing then the factory setup !!!! I'm looking for your professional opinion on this my well experienced friend !!!!

      We’ll have to run a plate on this motor like o show in vid. Sometimes sacrifices must be made lol

    Happy for you. That's a great score. These heads are actually better for lower rpm torque production. They shifted back to oval ports on the next gen.

    If I were u I'd sell that engine.Not to be Debbie Downer but ur heading down a rabbit hole u prob don't wanna get into. U make much more horsepower than what ur running now ur gonna start tearing it up.The specialty items with those engines are extremely a headache. Just my opinion been around this stuff for a while

    A motor and mid plate will make a world of difference in transfering power to the chassis and suspension !!! I made the mistake by not going to the plate system soon enough !!! Started leaving with too much torque and twist on a fully caged and framed car and it caused it to start splitting the bell housings right down to the tail of the trans !!! The car left the line squared up and consistently and stopped twisted housings !!! Also went from a turbo 350 to a powerglide trans !!! Made a world of difference !!!!! I still believe you can get that car in the tens NOW with some simple tweeks and adjustments !!! I wish you tons of success my Canadian friend !!!! The Maple Leaf is on your side !!!!!

  • @circletrack7538

    I'm pretty sure that NASCAR engine moves a lot of top end air and fuel but would the camshaft be compatible for the drag strip considering they live @ about 8500 rpm for a long long time and a car like yours lives thru the whole rpm range with that motor probably 4500 - 8500 down the quarter mile ??? Do you believe the cam would have to be changed or just change the degreeing of the cam to increase lower to mid range torque which you know is essential in the drag racing world !!! That 360 just might be able to tickle the 9s then what ???

    • @SimpsonsSpeedShop

      Well like I say plan to make it 20 cubes bigger which will help overall. But ya could advance cam some to put power down low or run more stall. Will be a learning curve and the dyno will tell how to set it up. Thanks for watching

    I run one of these on the street in a dodge avenger backed with a powerglide car runs consistent 8.90s with the craftsman series motor so the 358ci witch is nascars base for ci motor is 100% nothing but fun just watch those Jessel lifters if you get any same with rocker arms seemed to brake a few of them probably cause the motor sat before we used it but just the small thing that could be huge i wanna know what you use for a trans though, with my powerglide we had to make a special mid plate just because of the Chevy crank and the starter location so this motor will have a lot of 1 off stuff
