most econmical hard hitter

[accbr]

I pm'd SUPERTUNE awhile back, and his resleeved big bore pricing was very reasonable compared to that 4mm stroker. I've never rode a boat with either motor, but I'm planning to get a big bore when I can afford it. I already have the cylinder and cases.

i think the whole question behind this thread is unanswerable without a set budget.

economical for who? donald trump?

:dunno:

 

[accbr]

Economical for me is the 61x/61x single carb I'm running right now. Probably $400 invested minus pipe and electrics.:woot:

I have tried alot of setups... and I love what Paul has done with my new motor. Its a 701, big bored to 84.5 mil standard stroke and pauls case and cyl. porting... I wish you rode it in Daytona Madmat... It pulls like some 4 and 5 mil strokers.... I run, msd, lightnd flywhl, n dual 44s... and soon to run FULLSPECS.:hail: :arms: , Its a whole lot of RELIABLE BRAP ! LPW..... :woot:

 

[Big Kahuna]

oh, get some porting from LPW, Team Scream, TLR, Head Enterprises or Jet Works. set up based on on which ever builder you go with, they all have different packages that work.......

Ok you guys have helped me narrow thi$ down big time.

I guess what I will end up getting is a ready to bolt in equal replacement roughly. 61x/62t 7??cc freestyle ported, girdled ripper. Dual 38's or preferably a single 48. Lightened flywheel with either stator/flywheel combo.

Something used and ready to run and tuned for a b pipe limited.

OK, let's play with $1k

Providing I have cases(T or X), cylinder(T or X), crank(stock), head(Riva) and a complete gasket set. How would you go about spending the budget ?

 

[MADMAT]

Yea that sounds perfect!

I'll be lookin. I just missed a nice 61x 701 on EBAY that went for 721+60 shipping. It would have needed a badazz carb though too.

lets see...

porting $300
pistons $150
used 48mm carb $200
used rad f/w $300
beer $ 50

 

[Matt_E]

thats 2k and you have to supply them with an engine....correct?

Yes....but I believe that's big bore, new stroker crank , head, domes, and all teh work.

 

[WaveDemon]

1k ontop of finding cases, crank and cylinder? you people are RICH!

how about 1k starting with nothing since it's a back up motor.

$75 61x case
$150 760 cyl
$150 used crank
$150 pistons
$50? machine case
$130 gaskets+seals
$50 home port cyl + case (i've already got the template)
$150-$200 sbn 46

$905 total


edit:
$50 recut stock 760 head ($10 for head $40 to cut)
$50 lighten flywheel (flywheel is taken from primary motor)

new total $1,005

sorry, thats five bucks over budget..... AND theres no beer.:frown:

 

[Mouthfulloflake]

yep.

somewhere between this and what wavedemon has posted.

port the cylinder yourself.
T cases are not worth the $$$/HP when low end is the goal.

spend the $$$ on a a kickasz paint job and some booze and whores.

the rest will come.

I picked mine up for $250, complete drop in ready with 46 sbn. I'm cheap :cool2:

 

[Matt_E]
