What type of engine block should I use to build my race car?
I want to build a racing-style engine Indy car. It is a project I want to start from the base. This will be a learning experience obvious, but I do not know where to start. I want the light and as powerful as possible. It will be turbocharged or supercharged if it is useful. If you have any advice or suggestions I would appreciate it. Thank you all … You all arent useful at all. Why waste my time? I just want a lightweight engine block that can handle a large number of horses. And Supras suck!
Hmm …. It's a difficult question. Indy cars run a dual overhead cam (cams are in the head). This is a bit selection block difficult because because it is an intricate design and I do not know of companies that make them, or racing parts for such existing. The engine that I can think of that would fit the bill would be a Ford Cobra V-8 block. It is a DOHC established as Indy cars, '03 and before those of aluminum with iron cylinder sleeves. The sleeves make the engine stronger, without sacrificing weight. Another reason is a good choice because the parts of these engines can be found everywhere (stock and spare parts). Do a little research for the combos that you like and is formed there.
