engle 110 with 1,25 ratio rockers

[jimi323]

could it works good?
i've installed 1,25 rockers since a month...but reading other post...i'm afraid...
i'm not sure it could be a good combination...

[jimi323]

i found this:

Cams for use with 1.1:1 or 1.25:1 rocker arms
W-110   284º   247º   0.392"    9.96   108º   Hot street and off-road; good low and mid-range

[Zach Gomulka]

if i may, zach?

here's a copy and paste from an older topic Little Engines That Could!

1600cc, 110x1.25, 8.5:1, AJ Sims 044 40x35.5, 44idfs, 1 1/2" merge. In my light daily driver '67 bug went 14.8 @ 88mph. It is still running in my friends stock weight '67, we drove it to Drag Day (about 900 miles round trip) and averaged about 30mpg.

I used a 4.12 r=p, 3.80, 2.06, 1.48, 1.04.

you just have to make sure your 1.25s are really 1.25 and not more

ok will be impossible for me 14.8
i got two 36 idf
original heads
and stock gearbox....
i hope 16 or low 17...
with a real bad carburetors set up i  went last year at 17,8...(without 1,25 rockers)

It really was a great little motor. Someday I'll build a "clone".

With Kadrons, stock heads, 1.1:1 rockers, 1 3/8" header, and a stock ratio gearbox that little engine still did a 16.94 @ 75. If set up properly, and with a driver that has some good seat time, I don't see why you couldn't run a low 16 with 36idf's, good ported stock valve heads, and a stock ratio gearbox.

get the vw ones (with vw and audi logo) and you'll be fine. they are correct.

in september will be a little drag strip contest here near Milan, VW vs american cars.... i hope to kick some ass...
i'll let you know Zach....and i hope for the driver...that he will have a good seat time!

i already have scat ratio rockers...

[jimi323]

Zach you know how much hp it has that motor?
I would be curious to know how much it has mine of it 1600...(is my first non-stock motor)

[Zach Gomulka]

When I sold that motor the 44's were swapped out for 40's with CB update kits and tall big beef manifolds in effort to improve low end torque. It then made 93hp with the belt on.

[nicolas]

the scat ones will work as well. i just had the vw ones.

93hp for a streetdriven 1600 is real good btw.

                                                             Years ago, I ran my 130 w 125's as a daily driver. I asked Jack at Engle about the 125's ,because of all the comments in a certain catalogue, and he said you can run 125's safely on any W grind cam as long as your springs are set up correctly and your geometry is correct. I ran the Autocrafts, which lift a little less. I ran that combo for years and years with no trouble.

I ran a W110 with 1.25s on a 1914cc turbo motor - ran great
207 rwhp on pump gas in street trim
