Alcohol 540 by Mesa Racing Engines
 

I haven't seen or heard many guys here with alcohol drag boats but here is one for a friend out of Texas for a drag boat out that way this is based on our MB650-MB850 platform such as Dart block billet oliver rods Crower crank and in this case the baddest flowing conventional heads in the country the CFE BMF and we mean BMF this is all toped off by a Ron's Flying toilet set up mechanical FI unit here are some pics of the machine work done on the block from parrallel decking to roller cam bearing machining and a close up of the pan were using on the unit. Hope you guys like and I'll have dyno numbers before the end of the week. Sincerely Laz

Looks like a lot of hours of hand labor. Joe Murray

Once again Laz you have amazed me with your
choices in hardware!
Great work!

CFE heads are the best!

I was going to run his Bmf 385.

I decided to run his program on a couple sets of 18
degree Darts.

Will See

Laz, nice work. What are all those fittings welded into the oil pan?

Re: Alcohol 540 by Mesa Racing Engines
 

If you look closely you can see that the pan is wider then the pan rail because the pan has a full length kickout so the way you install the bolts on the pan rail is through those holes in the pan. This is a standard practice in this type of pan you may ask why so wide pan to reduce windage of internal parts you can make as much as 15-30 hp in a good pan design also reducing aeration of the oil .

I am intimately familiar with the joys of installing the nuts onto the studs through those holes :D :D :D

great oil pan though.....good job Laz!

I had forgotten you are the specialist at those bolts when everyone drops them in call Frank he'll get them there. Happy new year Frank and crew from all of us
