UTG engine build "callout"

[Rat Bastid]

Yessir, faster revs ain't more power. Just can POSSIBLY make it faster...myself, if the Ramchargers said it, and the DC books printed it. I'd reread it Verbatim and go from there.

Well…actually a faster revving engine IS faster. And quicker. The issue is most dyno’s can’t measure that.

I don't think it will help Uncle Tony's 318...

 

[Dan the man]

Just when you thought you have seen everything. It seems old uncle tony has decided to "call out" steve dulcich and david friberger with a a mopar "318 build" but, with zero new parts other than a gasket set being allowed. Quite bizarre. What do you guys think?

I talked to a machine shop and they said that people have done this and got away with it but once the coating has wore off the rings, chances of them resealing and for a long period of time is pretty much impossible. Why would anybody waste their time on doing this with used parts, I'd rather see them do a performance build on a budget

can this die already ?

Yessir. I was actually trying to stay out of people's crosshairs. After 6 weeks of chi com covid induced bronchitis I don't need ANY extra stress, I've got enough onmy own! Lol! Like an old drag racing Mopar Bro mine from way back put it, " a HEMI doesn't Necessarily MAKE More power, it makes Power Faster! And in the real world that's what matters!" Besides, I'm Not going to argue with the Ram Chargers or the DC books.... looks like we're on the same page Brother thank you for speaking out

I dunno, but the UTG 318 allready has, more than once!

I think Holdener and Freiburger, Dulcich put it to rest in a YT

David Vizard said differently.

He had no data, he had a opinion based on memory of a pinto 4 cylinder from 30 years ago.

 

[NC Engine Builder]

This was recent data, from a modern dyno.

I guess Slaghammer went to the 1/8 mile strip tonight.... Mopar Al took it

Not being an *** here, BUT, after reading that, DC was Defunct ( now MP) when the Magnums were put out... now, could the Metal used, or the offset in the Early As have something to do with that? Seems he's kinda biased.

Cool! What did it run?

 

[318willrun]

He said he'd post videos on it, and with his races at NNN he may or may not post what it actually ran. I don't know what it ran.

I'll take his opinion over a narcissistic jerk any day.

That's quite possible!

 

[Nat]

with names like slaghamer and sloppy2nds 318 what do you expect them to run ? UT must love this site gets him more hits than a free bong

 

[Dartswinger70]

Ah..hmmm..well ah no.

You know you've won when they start throwing insults...

I ll settle this right now, you flip your pistons Ill leave my 340 pistons alone because if I flip them they'll hit the valves ok?

Lol, your probably right!
