Picked up my 2.8 Twin-Plug today (Thanks smg914 for the help)

67 Aluminum case
2.8 Factory Pistons & Cylinders
2.7 Crank
PMO 46 Carbs

These are starting to stack up in the garage ( that's a 2.7 Carrera RS motor in the background), I need to start putting these in cars

that would fit nicely in my Carrera, but then it would be facing the wrong direction

Preston, your check didn't even make a little dent

I'm glad I paid for most of this when the economy was good - this is a Big $$$ motor - over 300HP

It belongs inside the house tonight. It's going to be cool here.

Yes, I will be snuggling with them tonight, even though the concrete might get a little cold

Looks like one of the chains is lose ...

Looks nice!

Since the factory 2,8RSR heads have huge combustion chambers and are rare and expensive, how did you manage to keep the CR manageable?

Did you find a stash of 2,8 heads, or do some other magick ?

For my 2,8 I'm thinking Nickies and JE's just to keep the rest of the custom work to a minimum...

Hey Rich, For the heads we used were 2.7 that were ported and Twin-plugged by JB Racing. The CR is 11.5/1 so it will drinking a race gas / non ethanol pump cocktail.

Having the same problem when building my engine with factory 92mm p/c and ending up doing alot of work on a set of 2.7L heads to get the compression ratio down to a pump gas level...for a future project I would certainly consider this alternative!!

The are cast heads that can be CNCed to any configuration. I have no idea what the cost for the work on these would be, but, you would get exactly what you are looking for.

Very nice! Where can I get a single belt engine pulley like that? My 3.0 came with a two belt pulley and it won't fit behind my fiberglass engine tin. I won't be running AC or an airpump and only one alternator belt is needed. I could easily trim the tin but would prefer not to.

I will find where Mike got it ( he might make those). It is bigger than stock ( so the Fan actually turns faster for more cooling), but it will not fit in a Stock 914-6 Cradle Mount without Machining the Cradle





Here is my 2.7 RS with the Stock 2.7 Single Pulley Wheel
