I built a 426 five over 12.5:1 CR Hemi in the late sixties that redlined around 9000 RPM with just a cam and valve train work. Crank was stock and balanced and block was lined bored. Bad pic..it's over forty years old !!! Needed the RPM to trap over 135MPH with a 5.12 rear gear. The Chevy Rat and Porcupine motors of the era also had the ability to rev without a roller. The latest model Dodge Motorsports 500CI with 15.1:1 compression and a roller cam redlines at 9500 RPM.

I'm fully aware any configuration can reach a certain rpm. I was referring to 'revvy' as the ability to change rpm's rapidly and gain rpm's rapidly. If you were running the stock crank there was a ton of rotating mass there. Yes I've seen hemi's and built BBC's and BBF's, none of the cranks are light in the counter weights unless they've had a bunch of work done to them.

I'm curious...!!! Maybe I can learn something... I always was under the impression that there were many more factors then the "crank" when it came to "revving" You talk a great deal about "rotating mass' but yet to mention the importance and difference of assembly clearances. Do you build your race motors with wide main clearance ? How important is line boring and dynamic crank balancing? Isn't the conversion of cylinder pressure into crankshaft torque another major factor? What about windage, how do you avoid adding to dynamic weight and inertial resistance in your builds ? Selection of vibration damper make any difference? I'm sure you know that the same engine in different chassis with different drive trains "rev' differently? That's when transient torque comes into play...

I don't actually know the weights of both engines, Mag. But the 240SX front end lifted up a full 2 inches at least when I dropped the 302 in there. I assumed it was lighter!
I wasn't talking about bore and stroke and stuff, man. I meant tranny/diff ratios. My old 5.0 would do ~200km/20L with the manual box and 2.73 rear end (highway mileage). You're right about the packaging thing, but we were talking about 2 different eras of modifying cars, I guess. My dad had an old 240Z, still tells me till today that it and the old Mini Cooper S were his favorite cars of all time. |

And let's not forget how the 308ci Flathead straight six Hudson Hornets tore up bigger, overhead valve V8s on the NASCAR tracks in the 50s!
Seriously, it is really hard to do a proper A-B comparison between I6s and V8s because the I6s for some reason tend to have poorer rod length to stroke ratios and poorer bore to stroke ratios than the smaller V8s do. And yes, we do have to use smaller displacement V8s so we can have similar displacement engines in this comparison. For this comparison to be valid there can't be any other variables. I'm no BMW guy but their little 3.0 V8 might work for such a comparison but the problem is we would still run into the problem of their sixes having poorer rod length to stroke ratios and poorer bore to stroke ratios than that little V8 does. You guys are gonna hate this but I think one valid comparison is the Big Three's pick-up diesel engines. They are all similar sized, four valve turbo engines and they are all comparable in performance in both stock and modified form the only difference being that one of them is an inline 6 and the other 2 are V8s. Maybe it winds up being a moot point. (At least as far as trucks go anyway.) I dunno, like I said a few pages back, I kike em both but Roncallo has me fantasizing about V12s too. Hey Shoomakan, do you know board member Jay Rash? You guys should hang out! Regards, Eric

Yep! Coincidentally, Jayrash and I have been friends for a while. I had no idea he was this popular, though! He's already given me invaluable advice.

Overhead valve will rev different then side valve. Pushrod versus SOHC or DOHC Chain driven, belt driven, gear driven cam.. Compression ratio...very important because it's what drives the crank. The real determinant of how freely an engine, regardless of cylinders, bore stroke, valve train design is the "transient" loss created by the chassis. An engine will spin freely under no load...it's the load ( transient not constant ) that will alter based on condition how fast and engine can rev. Put a 15K rpm F1 engine in a G55 chassis...heavy with three locking differentials.. Will it spin up as quickly...??? Common sense.... Reality check Mr. Crank Man...it's the transient load that determines how fast the engine RPM delta will be... All else about crank design is more text book then real world...

"Overhead valve will rev different then side valve.

For this comparison to be valid, both engines need to have the same head/combustion chamber design, the same induction/breathing/fuel delivery, the same bore to stroke ratio, the same rod length to stroke ratio, be the same displacement, be installed in the same chassis, preferably be from the same manufacturer. I don't think we can possibly meet all these criteria so I don't think this question will ever be properly answered. In the meantime I'm working hard to spank that C36 on our next track day 9/18/10. Looking for a couple of tenths! With all of this "I6 vs. V8" talk, this race is the only case of two guys actually putting it on the track to find out! Yes, it's less than ideal in that it's just straight line racing and doesn't meet hardly any of the above criteria but it's all we've got at this point unless some of the rest of you attempt to do better! Who's gonna come watch? Regards, Eric

Keep in mind that you may be modding your car but never engineering it... You have to live with the basic design that the manufacturer provides. All else is esoteric textbook BS... The most important part of the equation is the chassis and its ability to get the power to the road surface. For instance two identical chassis setups, tires etc with one using a 400HP engine and the other a 1000HP engine.... My money is on the 400HP.... Uncontollable power is like having no power...numbers only count if they make contact with the asphalt...

but have you seen the M3's piston size vs. that of the 3,6 M104! its less than half, and then there is the valve gear as well. the cam followers on the E46 M3 are so light and tiny its ****ing impressive. its the weight of the m104 internals that limit it.

if the c36 rod is 1mm shorter than the 3.0 103, it could be used to lower the comp ratio on a 3.0... i wonder what diff would 1mm make?

calculate the volume increase and u will know. i say its alot. i guess it drops comp to abt 8.5.

the number i gave was just guess work, do ur proper calculations so u know exactly where ustand.
There is a member here Orttolan i guess who knows the exact dimentions of the amg rods
