Who has experience with Small Mopar engines ?

JCChildress · 01-04-2011, 01:22 PM

I'm curious as to has experience with small cubic inch, small block Mopar engines, like a W2 headed engine , around 315 cubic inches ? I know Marlin Bogner does, and he is an exceptional gentleman to talk to, but is anyone else familiar with them or is anyone else even running them ? Its suprising to me, because the W2 is such a good head for SS/CS . Just curious, and thinking out loud. Thanks

How small?
Does 150 cubes mean small?
Just kidding LOL.

It might help if you specified how far from home (where is that?) you
are willing to travel to get to a good mopar engine builder? Across
the country, in the same state, within a 500 mile radius?

I know Don Little and Steve Wann out in the Modesto/Westly area
of California both have many years of success building both small and
big block mopars, but if you are on the east coast that might make
a difference.

Thanks for the help, but I aint gonna travel anywhere to get one....LOL....were gonna build it ourself. I work at an engine shop. Its just not something we've ever fooled with. I'm curious about a small cubic inch ( 315 or so ) W2 engine as in like a SS/CS engine. Thanks for any and all help.

I have an old set of the Glidden/Diamond W2's that I would sell if you're interested. Have the good Norris rockers/shafts and flow #'s as well. Probably one of the few sets left, had thought I'd build a stroker to use them on but currently running a stocker and probably won't get back to using W2's.

Just a thought....
