Hi all -
I had a look at a car for the HSCC GT series today, which was reportedly powered by a period 289 in classic historic trim and I was informed it had 1 & 7/8th inlet valves and solid lifters and was run with a 650 cfm DP Holley.
I was unable to locate an engine number and also to me, from the pics below, it seems to have hydraulic lifters fitted. It was reportedly good for 7K and made max power at 6500rpm, although they said they only ran it to 5500 and reported running oil pressure was 80psi on a HP pump. It had a Canton wet sump fitted.
So, can anyone have at a guess the likely power output of such a motor from the above details? and what sort of value would you put on such a unit, assuming it was in good order? + any other comments?
Thanks....
