Wow, yea an Engle FK10 is a lot of cam. ThumbUp
I am putting together a little 1835 and running an Engle 110. Planning on putting 1.25 rockers in just to get a little more lift and a slight lump at the idle. Couldn't imagine running an FK10 in a street motor. :p
-
Well it is only 850 lbs or so.
I have lots of gear in it and it still blows through the gears so fast.
But it is fun when "young buck" with the crotch rocket thinks he is gonna blow by "old man" on the trike and learns that the world ain't what he thinks it is.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: Yea, no kidding man. When I was heavy into "fast" bugs I loved blowing away the "muscle" cars. Bhahahaha.
I ran a 440 Cuda once and waxed it with 2180. That little dude would lift the front tires off the ground for a second between first and second gear. :p
I actually do already have the 110...........Jeez, I suppose you have one. :xzqxz:
Thought about putting a 120 in but kind of figured it would be a touch much.

I have some eagle cams, cb performance.
A 2241
And a 2246.
Both good with 1.25 rockers.
The 2246 probably to big for a sub 2L engine.
I really liked the 2246 in 2110 and 2180 street engines. Big enough but still comes on hard from way down low.
This fk10 is my first engle cam. I am wanting to soften up the bottom end some. But i do want it to come on when I want it there. Might be a mistak running an fk10 and 3.44 r&p, 1.26 third and .82 fourth.

Hehe
I have had a 440 cuda. I doubt the bug would have taken it. But back when I ran the bug I did have a chevy eater tag on it. Most of the races I beat a v8 in was a really short stop light race or someone who gave up and did not stay in it till the end. I had a few friends that knew better and would hang in there and run the bug down by the end of the quarter.
-
Oh yea, it was a short "stop light to stop light" run. Probably 300 yards....Maybe. :laugh:
Yea, I am still wondering on the rocker arm geometry. Running the 1.25's with the 110 cam I am not sure if I am going to have to shim up the rockers to get good geometry.

Most all of the new rockers are the type with the adjuster on the push rod side and the curved face on the valve side.
They all take custom length push rods and or shimming. Most even take some shimming side to side to get aligned with the valve correct.
I am running 5.5 inch "chevy" rods so my deck hieght is tall. My push rods are long. Also running 050 heads and the rocker pad is not to stock dimension I hieght.

I have a stock length set of Chromoly push rods and hoping I can use them. Being just a stock height on the heads I am thinking I can just use the shims.

You anywhere near a vw crankshaft shop?
I have an 82mm vw journal crank with messed up dowel pins.
Possibly fixable. I just replaced it.

Actually within 50 miles of one of the best in this part of the country.
I think they have to fill and redrill to repair dowel pin holes, but I have seen it done before.

Cranks are so cheap now that once I figured all the shipping and hours of work to go in it......... Well I figured new was cheaper for me to deal with.
Would be nice to make it usable again. Somebody could use it.
