That would be cool. I was checking comps site and couldn't find it. Engine looks awesome! I'm excited to see a beefy inline6. You say you left room for boost. Lots of room under these hoods for a hair dryer (aka turbo) and inter cooler


Did you keep the 1.75 rocker ratio? Seems high and cause quite a bit of valve overlap.

Over on Inliners a new 292 build similar to yours was dynoed at 285hp and 310 torque "right out of the box" as quoted. There is plenty of room for an increase in both values. His ran a single 4 bbl.

I had a custom grind. This cam is not an off the shelf grind. This grind is a 250 grind done to a 292. Yep..stayed with the stock 1.75 ratio...never had issues yet. TJ

Yeah, I haven't been to the sight lately...mine is expected to make that or more...I built it to specs more around 310 hp and 330 torque. So...All I know is it'll be one heck of a sweet engine! lol

Didn't have the head flowed, but past spec indicates 264 cfm intake and 186 cfm exhaust. And my cam grind number is c62 5232 /5232 h 110+4 not sure if its the right one, but thats what was specified as the grind number. TJ
