You guys are funny. When was the first overhead cam motor anyways? There is only so many places to put a camshaft.

Re: Global Race Engine of the Year Award

i watched parts of that race and the commentators said that motor made enough torque that if the gear box broke they could finish the race with only 6th gear :1

Re: Global Race Engine of the Year Award

They don't have 6th gear, in the racecar anyways. Name one other production motor that comes with a 2.200 Delwest TI intake valve

People hate the Ls7, but it will do just like the ls1 did. It will win more races then any other motor ever made.

Re: Global Race Engine of the Year Award

The small block are physicaly smaller with the same displacement ast the big blocks. I know that they have different things on them. Kinda like the b16 is bigger than a d16. Same displacement. Different bore,stroke,head,compression ratio, and other ----.
