F5 built to 110 ci from small bore 124ci

Thats really cool, how did it run?

The group was out of Texas, Rod Forman driver. I tracked down a man in TX that has video of it running but needs to get it out if storage and convert to modern format. For the class I think they did alright. I'll check back again

So any progress on tracking down that video? I can convert it if that is a problem.

I'll try to find out , I think he was in the process of getting ready for a move so maybe? It was tough tracking him down the first time.

So any one know anything about the history of the Chrysler v6 project?

Rick Davis was with Chrysler/Force back at that time. I suspect he was involved (if not the designer) of this V6. When I first saw it at the Hartford museum I thought it was a Black Max in disguise. I like some of the features it has such as the thermostat/poppet valve arrangement at the top of the heads. It even has the belt driven distributor like the merc prototypes.

That motor was first introduced at the 77 trade show, don't think Rick was there, pure Chrysler?
You'd know, I can't recall what he said.



Where's the video of it running during testing?

I was told that a couple different versions, horizontal.
Test had it running very well, Fox lakes system. Witnessed, told me recently not much would catch it.
