Rip them out and toss them in the garbage where they belong. Powerful and affordable Push rod engines rule, while all a loser like slow eddy can do is drool:

Ha-ha! JB, desperate for affirmation that he is somehow significant,
is feverishly counting "views" of unattributed YouTube videos.

Hey, Jon, since you bring up those old pushrod engines, what happened
to the Chevy 5.5 liter prototypes at Daytona last month? They went
around the track like they were on parade -- following the leader, a
"wimpy" 3.5 liter, DOHC Ford.

Better luck next time, huh? Maybe they need another liter or two. Or
maybe they need some more "advanced" design. How about a flathead?

I want to see just what you can do with flatheads. I want to see a
racing class that's "anything you want to do to the engine, as long as
it's a flathead". Give that a decade or so, and you may see some real
performance out of the flatties.

Hey -- maybe Jon's thinking that DOHC engines don't work because it'd be
a bad idea to make a DOHC flathead?

Streamliners were getting around 220 hp out of them in the '50s. With
a blower, they've produced some impressive power in drag racing.

However, the fuel economy would be dismal. They have 'way too much
surface area in the combustion chamber.

May be. But that would, indeed, be a bad idea. g

You must be really sore about the Corvette DPs losing out to that
"wimpy" little DOHC Ford, eh, Jon?

Maybe they should try what Ford did in the mid-'60s, when their 4.7
liter GT40 got creamed by the 3.5 liter Ferraris at LeMans. Being an
obnoxious bully by nature, Henry II stuffed a 7-liter pushrod engine
into the car. Finally, he beat the Ferraris -- which were running
engines half the size of the Fords.

But then Ferrari punched their engine out to 4.5 liters, and, at
Daytona, they cleaned Ford's clock.

That one got you really sore, too, as I remember.

Thanks to Henry's shenanigans, rules were changed all over the world
to limit engine sizes for the top prototype classes, which previously
were unlimited. Thus, Chevy is now running the limit -- 5.5 liters.
And it wasn't enough.

BTW, if you're seriously interested in them, you should look into the
research done by Sir Harry Ricardo (he of the "Ricardo combustion
chamber"):

http://www-g.eng.cam.ac.uk/125/achie....%20COMBUSTION

I think there are entire books, either by him or about him, that
discussed the many issues involved in making a flathead engine give
its best performance. You'll also find some old published research
done at the Sloan labs at MIT.

There are several issues besides just the surface area -- valve
shrouding, flame-path length (the biggie); swirl; and so on. It's an
interesting study for anyone who loves engines.

Snipped more clueless slow eddy nonsense

What part of slow and boring don't you understand, ****tard?

Often the V6 pushrod turbo charged Corvette sat on the pole and was easily the fastest car on the grid... despite having a pile of **** Lola chassis.


http://www.oldcarsweekly.com/news/ho...-garage-museum


"Ryan Falconer's 3.4 liter turbocharged V6 Chevrolet engine for the T710 chassis was an integral part of the car's structure. Tucked between the GTP's rear wheels, the V6 engine featured many components - rocker arms, pistons found in Chevrolet's venerated small block V8. The V6 was also unique in that it was fabricated with off-the-shelf components as opposed to more costly designs commonly found in racing. Falconer's engine was a destroked version of the 4.3 liter Chevrolet V6 to keep it in line with IMSA GTP rules stating that a stock block V6 was allowed to displace only 209 cubic inches, compared to the standard 229 cubic inches."

You didn't say anything about that, Jon. You just said that the Chevy
pushrod V6 was exciting. Indeed it was -- both as a racing engine and
as a hand grenade. g What it *wasn't* was a race winner. And that,
you'd realize if you weren't half-fast, is the objective.

You really do talk through your hat about racing and engines, Jon.
You picked one of the all-time losers -- the turbocharged Chevy V6
built by Falconer for GM -- and you got all excited because it put out
a lot of power.

It did. And then it would break. You can make a tractor engine put out
a lot of power if you over-supercharge it, as Falconer did, with the
Warner-Ishi turbocharger blowing the hell out of that asthmatic little
pushrod engine. He eventually got around 1,000 hp out of it. Then,
bang. g

Chevy finally realized it was barking up the wrong tree, trying to
promote its V6 sedan engine by pretending it was a hot racing engine.
It just didn't have what it takes. From the time they started with
that engine at the beginning of 1985 until Chevy pulled out at the end
of 1988, after pouring megabucks into the effort, it won exactly two
races.

I'd say you've been reading too many car-buff magazines and not
studying enough about engine design. You don't know what you're
talking about most of the time.

The Corvette GTP engine suffered very few failures related to it's Ryan Falconer V6 engine. It suffered from lots of problems from the Chevrolet supplied fuel injection system. Anyone can call Ryan and ask him about this. He lives in Arizona now.

How do I know all this? I was there and I've talked with engine builder Ryan Falconer about it.

Suuuure ya' did.

Let's take just one year, 1987, and see what happened to the Corvettes
in the IMSA GTP series:

Road Atlanta -- DNF, blown head gasket
Riverside -- DNF, broken valve spring
Mid-Ohio (Andretti) -- DNF, throttle sensor failed
Mid-Ohio (van der Merwe) -- DNF, misfire
West Palm Beach -- DNF misfire, body damage, fire
Portland -- DNF, debris hit kill switch
Road America -- DNF, rain-shorted electronics
San Antonio -- DNF, overheating
Del Mar -- DNF, unspecified

(from _Inside IMSA's Legendary GTP Race Cars, Martin and Fuller.)

The FI gave them a lot of grief, but it could only have caused the
DNFs at Mid-Ohio and West Palm Beach -- and it isn't certain that's
what caused the DNFs in those cases, either.

Blown head gaskets and broken valve springs are common problems with
over-stressed race engines.

This is exactly what you did years ago, when you took a Ford press
release as your "source" and claimed all the Fords failed at Daytona
because of a Kar Kraft transmission. Only it wasn't true, as we showed
from the detailed account of the race by AutoWeek.

Bonkers, you're so full of crap that you're going to die of sepsis if
you don't knock it off. Now, stick to things you actually know
something about if you're going to be sarcastic.

Snipped the lies of someone who has spent a lifetime lying by writing worthless pay for play ad copy for advertising driven rags.

Lime Rock, Watkins Glenn, Del Mar, Riverside, etc. I was there. slow eddy wasn't.

slow eddy has no clue about competitive racing that was IMSA GTP in the 80's. It was exciting and all the events I attended were packed. The Corvette GTP (when it ran a turbo charged stock block V6) was often the fastest car on the the track... especially when driven by Sarel van der Merwe. I met and talked with Sarel several times at length. Nobody could get more out of the Corvette GTP car than he could.

slow eddy is a liar who thinks he knows everything. slow eddy is often completely full of ****. The fact is that slow eddy doesn't know jack **** about real world GTP racing in the 80's like he pretends to know. It didn't take me long working for a race engine builder in Tucson, Arizona to realize that slow eddy is all book knowledge and zero practical knowledge.

That's quite a claim for a Barcalounger racer, Jon. g

Your rant, however, is up against everything I said, including the
documented race results -- including that the engines that you're
talking about only won two races during the years they ran, from 1985
to 1988, and they never won a championship.

As all of those DNFs demonstrate, they'd go like hell, and then break.

You could get horsepower out of a bagpipe is you supercharged it
enough. But it wouldn't win. Chevy ran those engines for marketing
reasons, but they just weren't up to winning.

If you didn't blow so much smoke and try so desperately to show that
you're not an insignificant kook, you'd have a lot less trouble when
you make mistakes.

slow eddy is a worthless, lying, pay for play ad copy writer who pretends to be an expert at everything. When push comes to shove slow eddy falls apart like a cheap suit.

Nothing to respond to.

For those suffering through slow eddies usual bull**** and lies and who maybe looking for interesting info here is a V12 engine that's based on a Chevy 350 small block. It's is built by noted and successful Chevy race engine builder Ryan Falconer who prepared all the Corvette GTP V6 turbo engines:
