1200 hp with single carb c-head

We were able to break 1200 hp at 7000rpm this weekend with a c-headed single carb with ford cast manifold. THis engine was a wet sump with a vacuum pump. We used our custom 1450 with jomar spacer and ported c-heads along with a modified c manifold. Customer will be playing in the mudd so no belt drive. Kaase oil pump and custom camshaft from Lem. This I feel is a great accomplishment for us and goes to show how hard we are working to keep making power. Hopefully Lem will post a dyno sheet for me.

sounds like a low maintence deal with the low rpm ........ great job guys !!! 1200 hp would i love to get a hold of a piece like that

Oakley Motorsports built the engine.
Specifics of the parts which were used is probably confidential to that customer. Most customers want it that way and engine builder integrity is important to most customers.

Thanks for all the compliments. We have been working really hard on our c-head program and it is good when things pay off a little. Randy is correct but i can give you some info. cam under .900 lift (ordered from lem). Cylinder heads had been ported by someone else and I rubbed on them a little more and added our custom valve job. This was good for anywhere from 30 to 50 numbers of flow.

I was just asking , Charlie has a set of heads and intake he is doing for me .. I have 2 c-head motors one I believe to be pretty good ,and the other is getting Charlies heads when they get back, It has a cam from Lem already .. I can Hardly wait !! Great job you guys do down there ,thers not to many Ford guys up this way .maybe I need to move .

Its not that I want specific info , just general stuff ,I understand integrity and Respect ..Randy
Thanks Phillip for the info !!

the heads were used.......Phillip did a little 'tuning' on them and the latest valve job.......they responed very well. The cam is .880" lift.

Yes it is one of my cams.

Lem ,it was great talking with ya yesterday !! sorry I hade to cut out ,we just got dinner ,and it was our anniversary (29 yrs ) lol talk to ya later. Thanks ,Steve

this seems like a very mild build for a mudder with the low rpms , what could you guys do on an all out 7800-8000rpm build ...... with a t/r and 2 carbs ---- 1300-1400 hp a possibility ?

Its possible the amazing thing here is single carb and thats way

I want a motor like that......
