Ford MOD motors take 1,2,3 at the Engine Masters

gotchya.

About time. :rollpicard:

You say the CID part of the formula dictates the winner. The power and torque numbers have a lot to do with the score.

true, every aspect of the formula dictates the winner... it would be cooler imo to have the cid portion of the formula not as heavily weighted as the power and torque numbers imo

 

[Yaj Yak]

I think as well it'd be neat to raise the 7k rpm limit... keep it the same fuel and the compression the same, let these engines sing.

Just makes it like any other competition. Study the rules and make them work to your advantage as best you can.

I think it is hard to level a playing field where you have many CID options. This was probably the easiest way to do it.

but who wouldn't want to see a 500cx lsx or mod motor

I think the rpm and comp ratio are BS. Keep everything else the same and let those go. If you want maybe limit the octane rating of gas, that should help keep the ratios a little lower.

Hi, my name is KJ and I have no clue what Iam talking about......

LS1

Engine Dimensions

4.6 Mod Motor

Ford modular SOHC & DOHC tech & specifications

4.6L DOHC Cobra Intake A: 27 1/8" B: 23 5/8" C: 26 5/8"

fo real?

I thought this is what was going on...

I think they have to or everyone would be building 700 CI monsters.

Would be interesting for sure. Some of the bigger motors may not like the RPM. So we would probably see smaller motors. But I think that would take away torque numbers. I enjoyed seeing a Ford MOD motor making 600 ft/tq @ 3200 rpm. That geeks me out more than seeing it making the HP number it did.

Dat's not an LS

at the price tag that it cost to build this one... whats the difference

 

[greasy]

That right there is a Ford 302.

I like that the most... if someone can figure out how to put 87 through a 14.1 something or other

Width is where the mod motors are bigger. You get the heads of off them and look at the block and go "Awe how cute". It's amazing how much size is in the heads of those motors.

No mod motor can be made that big. Not enough bore and stroke with the current architecture.

this i knew... but...

just call this guy

Why do you say that? This is the first time the motor was used with good results. Chevy and Mopar motors have done very well in the past.

In addition to allowing 4V's this year they also outlawed shaft rockers & solid lifters for the pushrod engines. Or so I was told. I kind of agree with KJ's point. The way I look at it is part of the mod motors advantage is it has more valve area in it than most any small block and also its stable valve train. Part of the pushrod motors advantage would be big cubes not possible in the mod motor. In penalizing for CID & handicapping the valvetrains of the pushrod motors you'd be a fool to build anything but a 4V. They should loosen those rules up more to let the different platforms shine without handicapping another. Just my 2cents

yeah well i heard Satan adopted a new punishment to be used in hell... you get raped by all the camshafts you've had while alive.


ya'll be fucked.... literally
