TDK Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 Its getting a bit murky with all the various engine technology out and about. Does anyone have a way to "Poker rank" varius engine designs, given a similar displacement - maybe around 5-liter or 300-cubic inches? Sorry if this too hard to figure out with all the various enhancements (hemi-head, variable valve timing, etc ) blurring the lines? For that matter, is this "Engine 101" and too much to explain in a forum post(s). If a few rankings were possible, then it would be handy to assign a price tage for the step-ups or add-ons if possible. For example, would the Northstar 4.6 supercharger be about $3,000 installed? This assumes that a beginning "high card" would be a something like a standard 16-valve, OHV, short block 302, that might crank out about 250hp on regular gas with a 4bbl carb. I suppose it might be stronger? Just trying to rank 'em a bit. Need to know the rank in hands - before betting... Thanks Add power to leave problems behind. Most braking is just - poor planning.

K2K Posted March 16, 2004 Report Share Posted March 16, 2004 I don't know much about engines, but I'm pretty sure the Northstar Supercharger is a bit more than that. It's going to run around 4k in stalled if I remember correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
