Hoo Boy,

You guys are amazing. I haven�t heard that kind of crazy talk since my big block Chevy days. I�m going to sit down and pick through these posts just to see if I can get a handle on the math. It is intriguing to have someone set out to juice up a Z129, because looking at my engine as it came apart the block seems so fragile and the head too flimsy to do much with. It�d be a kick to see what develops, though.

Bill

Hi Bill.. you are the sensible one.. My Dad bought me a '52 TO30 when I was 9... so it is just a nostalgic thing.. I want to do a few tractor pulls for some seat time for old time sake and the Fergie is very non-competitive box-stock. It is either geared too high for the slow classes or not enough power for the faster classes, so my solution has been to add the Sherman (done.. well, at least sitting on the floor beside it) to get speed choices and then the engine work to get the power up a tad.. most clubs will allow what I call "invisable internal work" and at least 10% over fast idle (fi is 2200) to make about 2400 rpm.. hence the described engine... Fragile indeed! or this thread would have another name! But this was also going to be a custom pressed sleeve installation and adding about 2" of hard block which would have greatly stiffened the lower end... Top end would be nearly stock (maybe a little port matching).. but like I said... losing interest..... Jim
