8000+ rpm motors

[jflem3]

alot of the of the oval track motors are 4.155 bore (.030 over 400) with a 3.30 stroke to get to the 358 cuin. limit. they run lightweight 6.1" rods with 45mm rod journals and (believe it or not , (honda rod bearings)) with light weight pistons to cut down drag and reciprocating mass. the top of the motors consist of shaft mounted and girdled rocker arms to keep everything lined up a 9500 rpm. titanium valves,and keeper and oil sqirters to keep the springs cool(very important for high rpm longevity.
It would be possible to build a streetable 8000+ rpm motor. 4.125-4.155 bore, 3.0 stroke 6.0 rods lightweight pistons use a roller cam, 11.0:1 or better compression( the big cam would bleed of compression down low) you would have to spend some money on the valve train and cylinder heads (2.05 -2.08 intake valves). Fuel Injection would make driveabilty worlds better.
You would definitely have to back it with a t-56 or something of the sort to keep the gear changes tight as it would be a rather peaky motor for a truck.
4.56-5.53 gear depending on tire size and it would rip through the gears and and cruise on the the highway with the .50 6th gear of the t-56

sounds like fun just bring your water cooled checkbook!!

hell, you could even start a new trend a blend of nascar street racer NASTREET.
