Engine Builder???? - Page 2

I still think Carrol Shelby, at least on paper. All those other engine builders cannot dictate what was original.

did you learn anything from this thread??

Here is an answer, all the people mentioned can build you a great engine, its what you do with it that counts. If you do not pay attention to the builder and go your own way and have no idea how to get the most out of the engine then you mite as well build it yourself. In the old days it was called threshing, Bernie Agaman was one of the best. You try anything and everything. So who do you pick? Someone easy to talk to like Bub, and he has the answers you need to know to start with. Just getting an engine will get you no where fast. Also Woodro is another easy goin guy with alot of info. Pick one you feel comfortable with and then write everything down and follow instructions. Good Luck !

Excellent point Bob P... Of all the engines I do, a lot of them are cookie cutter or clones and we test them with the same carb and headers. Its fun to see that when they all make the same HP at the same point and they end up in different cars,with different carbs & headers, what the performance differences are...

Please don't forget the "chicken man" Don Little or Gregg Luneack, plus all of us back yard builders

The most impressive 273 I’ve seen was built by Victory Engins out of Minn. or Wis. You might want to speak with them.

Not sure who builds Angela Bushmaker’s motors (besides her Dad) but shouldn’t be hard to find out. Think I have Bill’s number somewhere if needed.
