One of the nastiest 1776cc motors I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, was built by Doug Berg, for as a sprint car class motor. K10 cam, Berg rockers, huge heads, 48IDAs, very large sump. I don't know what the horsepower was. But Doug took me for a test ride, on the street, while the motor was in the S Muffin. We "cruised" around for quite a while. And to say the least... I was amazed. Very high revving, and built to stay at high revs for a long time.

Hey Jim do you still have your old web cam 86c. If you do I would like to buy. I also need to find a good set of 48 idas if you know anybody that has some or maybe the new ida. I still have a World Pac account. I think its time to freshen up the old motor. Im thinking new set of scat rods  different cam  and as much compression as I can get out of that motor.

Hi Bryan, nope Darrel has my old hard weld 86C...

[Jim Ratto]

Derek's short-lived 1776 ran very hard, where your 044's ended up John.
Talk about a budget motor too...
your welded 40 x 35 heads, Engle K8 advanced 4 deg, .020/.020 cwt crank, 12lbflywheel, 9.8:1, 48IDAs with 36mm vents. Thing was an animal until the cheap straight cut Bugpack gear came loose on crank. 

[kafercup]

Yeah, that motor was kind of fun until the cam gear nightmare. 

The original BH special 1776 in the car with the Engle 100 and 48 IDA's really put up well with tens of thousands of miles while being abused   And it actually ran nicely with that combo 

Next motor will be much more fun 

[Jim Ratto]

Next motor will be much more fun 

ya think?

Yes I do James, yes I do.   

[Jim Ratto]

umm...? 

[kafercup]

[Jim Ratto]

ha hahaha    that's gonna be your neighbors once this thing comes to life.

I'll just anonymously deliver boxes of these to their mailboxes and hope they get the clue
