1700 engines back in the day
RFbuilt:
thats a sweet pic, even nicer knowing u guys built it as newlyweds,
so this a 88x69 ? awesome!!
one of my motors to be assembled will be an 88x69 with a similar grind to 110
rick m:
Yeah...My wife was not much of a car person but supported me regardless. She has been a solid support for 34 years now. It was a 69 x 88 motor with the 110. Was a great combination. I toyed with going to a 120 Engle but the 110 worked so well for driveability and bottom end response that I never went bigger. I bracket raced it occassionally. It was a 7.8 to one motor that I could run on pump gas. Of course pump gas in 1976-77 was a little better quality and octane.

any 1/4 e.t.s on it?
sure sounds like a peppy motor!
rick m:
It was not that fast. I had stock gears in my trans with a 4.12 R&P for street driving. So, it was not killer fast. The best I ever cranked out of it was a 15.65. Take into consideration it was a full interior too. I did not build it to be fast...just to be a good freeway driver. With more compression, cam and 48s, obviously the motor would have come alive.
