    Choosing 289 combo for RCR40?

    My idea for an engine was much like yours. For my BEC GT40, I built a 1965 SBF 289 (stronger-higher nickel content block) stroked to 302 (i.e. for 5 litre FIA limit) with a flat tappet split-duration cam, roller rockers and webers. Puts out ~400 hp&torque. It has been a good choice for me. Larry

    Loss of Coolant and Running Hot - Cure

    I had/have similar issues and using a non-water based coolant (like Evans) kept the coolant from boiling (Evans boiling point is ~400 degrees). Larry

    01E how much HP?

    I have a SBF with Webers which puts out about 400 hp and the 01E 6-speed in my BEC GT40 handles the power easily. Larry

    Engine incline angle

    You have the preferred engine angle...most engines tilt the other way (i.e., rear up) which has the potential to cause cooling problems.

    GT40...which Mfg. to buy?

    FYI, it usually takes months to "sort out" any car. So, if you're not a serious mechanic, you'll be way ahead both time-wise and financially if you find one that has gone through the process to include registration with the DMV.

    O1E 6 speed

    I have one in my BEC GT40 and it has functioned well for three years. My car has a well-built 289 SBF with close to 400 hp. I drive my car sensibly (i.e., I don't rev the engine and dump the clutch, but I do get on it). Larry
