Engine

Eng.jpg (31351 bytes)Use the hyperlinks below to get to the detailed engine information you want.  The engine is based on a factory Ford 302 (5.0 liter) truck block that was purchased (full of mud) from a junk yard for $50.  This 2-bolt engine has been in SlowGT since 1998 and has over 450 passes on it with 7,100 rpm launches and 8,100 rpm shift points.  This engine is 306 cubic inches and runs fuel injection with no power adders; it even runs on unleaded racing gas!  Just like all highly optimized combinations, both parts selection and assembly techniques are critical to overall performance.  Mike personally selected and assembled all aspects of the engine; from ram air to exhaust headers.  As should be done with all drag racing engines, the engine has been meticulously blueprinted and assembled; in his garage!  In this section of the site, we will outline what has been done to make the engine put out a lot of horsepower (more than 500) and live a long time.  We begin with the induction and exhaust systems and will proceed to describe the entire engine.  Be sure to check this page frequently as we will be updating it regularly over the next couple of months.  For more information on building high performance engines, check out the books available at the SlowGT store.
