My engine is finally done "with video"

[customtouch]

Well my good friend and engine builder "Sammy Maloof of Maloof Racing Engines" sent me a couple of pictures of my new engine. It will be going in the Tr-2 I bought several months ago. I will have all the specs for it later. If he does a video of it running like he said he would, I will post a link to it later. Dang, now I have to get back to work on the boat!!!  :grin:  I just posted a video of it running below in post #5.

Thanks. I am in Austin and used to do most of my local boating on Travis. However, that was with an offshore boat & I don't see me going there much with this one, unless it is way up river. I do plan to hit as many drags as I can but, I will be looking for good calm water locations to just hang and run it without hassles from the law. Anyone have any suggestions?

Sounds fantastic ! Come south young man ! we have some great places down here, Canyon, Placid, Dunlap, Dosn't Lake Austin stay pretty smooth ??

Lake Austin is fairly calm through the week but it is a zoo on the weekends in the summer. The lake patrols are pretty thick also and do not like loud boats. I am pretty sure if I went there with my boat I would be harassed, ticketed, or just plain told to leave. I will probably start going way north up the river of Travis. I am told it is almost always calm and hassle free up there. Maybe we should get a group together and go play.

You're going the wrong way on the Colorado.  :smile16:

Bay City or Altair on the Colorado is your best bet for hassle free operation.  :smile30:

Man thats cool. I need to get mine dynoed. Caint wait to see the specs, thats some nice horsepower out of a 462. What compression is it? And where did the 462 come from? Is it stroked? A 30 over 454 is a 461 right? Just wondering. clap.gif

I don't know anything about the engine other than it is 14:5 to 1 compression. When he starts talking about all the things he did to it I feel like Charlie Brown listening to the school teacher..wah..wah..wah..wah. think.gif

 

[Patchman]

Just a little compression! :smile26:

Sound like you will be burning some GOOD Fuel 114 or better  or Methonal ... ??  Should run good

 

[customtouch]

You mean premium unleaded won't work? :grin:

 

[73 Sanger Flat]

I wish , mine is at 13.6 to 1 and I am burning E-85 or C-112 Fuel .. I kept mine under 14 to 1 so I could burmn the E-85..

So what are you planning to burn ?

 

[customtouch]

He said it likes Q-16 best but it will run on 112.
