The Outlaw's Choice: The 410
The standard powerplant of professional sprint car racing today displaces 410 cubic inches, and is based on alumimum blocks from Donovan or Rodeck, and aluminum heads from Brodix. The basic dimensions (bore center spacing, deck height, etc.) are still those of a Chevy V8, but you won't find a single GM part in the engine. Roller tappets and rocker arms actuate the titanium valves. Tall injector stacks top it off, feeding a potent mix of methanol and air to the cylinders. More fuel is injected through "down nozzles" in the side of the heads (see photo above). Oiling is handled by a dry sump system, with the oil tank often located just ahead of the driver on his left. These engines routinely top 8000 RPM, producing in excess of 800 BHP! The most potent of these engines are built by Ron Shaver and Earl Gaerte, whose motors power most of the winners on the World of Outlaws tour and regional series around the USA. These finicky machines require an overhaul after 8 to 10 evenings' work.
Ein F1-Rennen ist fad und langweilig im Vergleich zu diesen Südstaaten-Geräten!
Have fun,
