| ALL right... i am planing to build a 76mm x 87mm engine. with 050 mofco heads (42x37), hpmx 44mm carbs, 1:1.25 ratio rockers. I have heard a lot of good and tons of bad about these engines with this combo. i want to settle this for good. I have heard these engines produce good torque which is nice for burn outs lol :twisted: However what is the Horse power of these suckers... Is it possible to create 140 hp with this combo with tuning.... I like this set up because i dont have to do any major case boring and some small crank clearancing. what are your thoughts let me know .... |

| Hot VW has been workning on an engine that is 76 x 85.5, I believe its a 1745, fairly close to what you are talking about. With dual 1 barrel solex carbs it dynoed at 92 hp. Although it was tuned for mpg efficiency, I just dont see how it could reach 140 hp, maybe 115. |

I see a couple problems right off the bat.
I don't think Mahle makes 87mm piston/cylinder setups for a stroker which mean you will be doing some cylinder shimming to keep the piston from popping out the top of the cylinder. Put a set of 90.5's or even 94's in the motor and you will have even more torque and HP, along with less buildup issues.
Empi HPMX carbs are JUNK. Find yourself a set of real Webers.
I'm done commenting on MOFOCO heads and engines.

you dont need stroker pistons for your 76mm crank
just some small shim.
i agree that the HPMX are junk, get the real webers |
