my project 62 lancer

i am taking my 62 lancer and removing sl6 and installing a four banger from mopar direct connection catalog

should look sweet in engine bay,with turbos in future
hopefully i can sell my 340 and use the cash for the four banger

this is the power output from mother mopar la based 4 cyl
Midget motor dressed and ready to install. Note in the photo: cam driven dry sump oil pump system and aluminum oil pan, crank driven water pump and lack of a distributor. This uses a Distributorless Ignition system (shown with the W8 head, not the HEMI). Headers shown are for a midget race car.
P5007961 Full Engine (W9 heads)
Rated power 350 hp@ 7200; 265 lb-ft @ 6,000
Redline 8,500 recommended; 9,000 max
Displacement 162 cid (38 cc combustion chambers)
Compression 15:1 (methanol)
Crank and cam Scat crank, roller cam with 60 mm bearings

P5007467 drag race block (v8 flywheel housing for RWD transmissions) for P5 Hemi head
tremec 5 speed maybe

The drag race block listed $5,217 in 2010 (and was sold retail for under $5,000). The wedge-head race blocks, listed as being designed for USAC Midget and drag racing, ran $6,644, list, in 2010. Both came with steel billet caps, ductile iron sleeves, and a hardware kit.

The block top deck is extra thick to allow for O-ringing and forced induction. The racers that are currently utilizing this engine are walking away with all the marbles over the GM "Iron Duke" based engines.

A pair of turbos, sequentially fed through proper charge air cooling, should push the motor in this application, to over 600 hp and have FAR more durability that a 2.2/2.5 or 2.0/2.4 engine and a higher rpm range.


well i think it will surprise a few next spring 2012 as i going to leave her stock appearing and using halibrand quick change rear to handle
my whims
also want him ready for run at maxton mile in 2012.
