632 C head engine

Just like to say thanks to Rob for giving us the opportunity to Build his engine. His heads did get cnc at tea but I did 14 hrs worth of work to the Intake ports and a small amount to the exhaust. Ti valves on both sides. Lem and I have got on a camshaft that is really good. (maybe on the right track for even better) I helped develop that 2.300 QFX custom carb and REAL PROUD of it. Jomar builds the spacer we use. Again thanks for all the compliments. Also want to say a quick thanks to Robs buddy Todd. His 12 degree profiler 632 Chevy made 1237 and just over 1000 ftlbs. NOW ROB POST THE DYNO RESULTS FOR Q-16! lol

Nice Build. The truck might need a few upgrades for the new power plant. That should make your competition say uncle. I have been looking at my next build and I'm thinking about a c headed motor for my 4x4 pulling truck.

I can't do pics from my phone to the forum. I will get the dyno sheets up tomorrow when I get home. It did 1272 HP and 1018 tq on the Q

WOW!!!!!!! What was the Sunoco fuel you used for your first pulls? We're not supposed to use Q-16 in Colorado because of an additive, MTBE I think.

Sunoco Maximal

Dang nice numbers Rob! Good job to the Oakley motorsports crew!!! Good stuff seems to always come from the stables in Kentucky!

It only made 1,271.9 but it did go 1,018.8 for tq.  

Wow congrats on an awesome build. That would be 1300+ with a 2X4 no?

Congrats! those numbers will make them chevy boys cry!!!

There's a Chevy twin to it going home too, and its just a few ponies shy of the Ford. Nice Profiler deal that Oakley did also for a buddy of mine.

Paul, I don't have a clue where this deal would go with a T/R, but it should go a little more. Not going to speculate on how much better.

What about on Methanol?

Unless you go to down nozzles and keep the methanol out of the ports, you will lose power.

How long till you have it ready and at a race? I can't wait to see it run.

Shoot we're racing in Questa, NM that weekend.

That'ds a pretty sharp stick you got there. Don't put your eye out with it.

Are you going to and when is the Sturgis race?

Definitely going to Sturgis. August 3 and 5 are the race days.

rob,you told me you were having Oakley build you a motor not a stump puller  hope you got the intake I sent you for the well pump motor  

Thanks Larry. Yes the intake showed up the day before I left.

I finally made it home, and what a blast. I want to thank Phillip and Curly for an awesome engine, and a great time while there. When we took these engines out there in December, and discussed where we wanted to go, I never dreamed that we would have gone this far. Phillip has done some phenomenal work with both the BBC and BBF. My buddy Todd's engine was the first engine that Phillip ever built top to bottom brand new complete. That was three years ago when he was still in his garage. He now has a state of the art facility at his new shop and is growing leaps and bounds. My engine has been in the works since then when I bought a new block from Lem, and a set of rods from Phillip, and just waited for the rest of the pieces to fall into place. I am glad that I took my time and gathered the pieces over time. The most important piece of the puzzle came this last fall when Phillip made me a deal on his used Bryant 4.75" billet crank. I think he was just tired of my block taking up space in his shop, and wanted to build something out of it. I had purchased a set of Oliver rods from Phillip a while back that were waiting for this deal, but since then, the bar has been raised by Callies and Phillip traded me rods. With a solid bottom end planned out, it was time to decide what to do with my heads. Dave Freelander made the decision a little easier when he purchased my old castings and this let Phillip get creative with a new set of C's with his own porting and valve job. I now have an almost all brand new engine here. The only items reused from my old engine were the rockers and intake. There was one more part that we decided on while out there, and that was a new carb. I had seen a prototype 2.300" butterfly Quick Fuel carb that Phillip had a couple years ago, and had discussed with him at length. These carbs are very limited production and custom built. It is a serious game changer with these big engines. Fast forward to now. I could tell when we got to KY that Phillip and Curly were thrashing pretty hard to get our engines done, and done right. We weren't disappointed when we finally got to pulling them on the dyno. You can see the results, a big inch C head engine that made over 2 hp/ci. Thanks to Oakley Motorsports, Phillip and Curly for the most awesome single 4bbl C head engine existence. Phillip if you would please thank Mr. Bowles for the hospitality and great conversation while there too.
