I'm planning to build a new engine to be raced in a Manta on a 1/3 mile circle track next season. I've read some info here on various modifications but would appreciate some input based on the specific track engine rules : 2.4 L max., any non-roller cam, any valve, valve spring, etc., porting and polishing ok, decking block, shaving head ok, modified stock intake ok, headers ok.
550 cfm 2 barrel max.
Input also based on my resources : I have several good core 1.9 L core engines. I also have an excellent friend/race engine builder/machinist/sponsor to assist me. I own a custom auto fab shop and can do all but the machine work.
I'm looking for basic blueprints(for now) for the best engine(with a reasonable budget in mind) to compete engine-wise with the Fords, Toyotas, VW,s etc.
We raced last 2 seasons - the cars handle great, but at this track we need more than our slightly modified 1.9's.
Any and all input is greatly appreciated.
