I like that clone cams fit in the hemi block I like the Champion rocker arms if you must run 1 to 1 I like the automotive type valve spring retainers and keepers found on "some" predators and the overall finish is better and the only downfall of the non hemi is the camshaft carrier size? it's a very easy process to machine the non hemi crankshaft taper to fit the clone flywheel, from looking at it the NON hemi block is a nicer casting and LOOKS like it would be stronger I like the web design on the side cover. I think the consensus is a hemi block with flat top piston and a non hemi head, non hemi crankshaft. the ones without would have the top plate, pump, filter, hose and fitting for the pump. 85 (1.95 if you only buy 100) I'd offer it in 2 versions with and without the fuel tank and muffler. but i have 30yrs experience in importing container loads from around the world.
#Ducar engine free
Which might get me free shipping from the seller, so I'm at $209. that is a DEAL for me to get to that starting point if I had nothing I'd need to spend $110 HF, $65 for the flywheel and $20 for the chainguard and $14 for a top throttle plate. the DUCAR seems to be a GREAT value if you can still get them for $185 with the flywheel, throttle mount and chainguard. These are my opinions based on experience with all engines. These are my opinions now if went with the non hemi you can run a larger camshaft and would have a bit different build.
#Ducar engine how to
261 at retainer you can't run much over a stock lift cam maybe a little more but I wouldn't push the lift limit with camshaft unless you know how to adjust lift at the retainer. Keep in mind the max lift is at the retainer which on hemi engines can be much more than cam lift. Change to a thin head gasket and would run mod2 or such cam maybe a bit more aggressive depending what lift at retainer is. The head comes with a shorter installed height of no shims are allowed. The billet rod big pipe build I would run the hemi engine simply because it takes clone cams and has flat top piston. They do not currently to my,knowledge make a billet rod for the engine yet but if you have the ability or know someone who can, you can get a clone billet rod and bkre the wrist pin journal out to fit the ducar wrist pin and piston. This gives track owners, competitors, and fans piece of mind about flywheel failures.The ducar already comes with a pvl flywheel I would use that platform as a start for the stock rod small pipe build.
