P, you mention the Pontiacs, When they ruled the roost in NASCAR it needs to be pointed out that they cheated. Plain and simple. When the 421s were torn down they were found to have violated over 20 seperate rules set by NASCAR, just in the engines not to speak of the rest of the car. From blocks to camshafts to pistons to compresson ratios its pretty hard to violate over 20 things in an engine unless you are really trying, not just an oversite or a mistake. Pontiac had a hard time understanding what exactly "Stock" meant. 1962 was the pinnacle for Pontiac, even with their cheating the engine was only good to about 440 hp before the reliability factor started getting in the way. Above that the engines couldn't be relied on to finish and usually didn't. The basic design of the Pontiac engine just isn't that good. As to your comment about running at "peak stress for more than a few seconds at a time except of course those highly prepared offshore boats" Tell me, what engine isn't highly prepared in order to do that type of duty. I thought they ALL were.
This thread, so far...
