RE: July Hot Rod FE buildup |

That's my engine. The bolts were used during the mockup so that Hot Rod could get photos and we could pull things apart quickly. Take a look and you'll see that the bolts are not even tight. Studs were used during the actual assembly. That said, quality bolts are equally as strong as studs, with the only real advantage being the saving of the threads in the aluminum.
The carb made 3 horsepower and 10 lbs.-ft. more at peak measured at W.O.T. Below peak and at part throttle the EFI had an advantage. In the car the EFI is the clear winner. Starting, driving, and response are simply much better.
Thanks, BR |
