I guess my timing was a little late on the last post.

Keep in mind an Olds 350 to 455 along with a Buick or Pontiac will go in one of those without too much problem.

If you are looking for more power, why don't you just get rid of the EGR and put some fuel to it.

You can play all you want, but unless you add fuel to the fire you aren't going to get any more...

Just for kicks, what is a typical injection pump number on a 616? It is a Robert Bosch isn't it?

How about head gaskets? How do they stand up to being pushed really hard? Do they use a fire ring...

Yeah it seems to be more a matter of running them too cold than running them too slow.

I can always bump the fuel setting way up and get a couple of fat welding rods and run it hard for a bit.

Well it is defiantly not a standard SAE bolt pattern.

The holes are on a 17 3/8" bolt circle.

Does anyone have a HP or Torque chart for this engine?

It might be the same diameter as an SAE #3 bell but it isn't quite the same. There is no pilot to hold it exactly centered. Although it might bolt up to an #3 I'll have to measure it.

That works out to about 46 HP at 2400 RPM

HP = (Torque in pound feet X RPM) / 5252

So how many foot pounds of torque will a OM-616 make at 1500RPM?
