M112 - 300 Build for the '56

As you know there has been one broken 240 rod that destroyed a turbocharged engine.
There was detonation at 20 lbs of boost. Rod failed sometime afterwards.

A turbocharger is much easier on connecting rods than a supercharger.
A turbocharger doesn't take power from the engine by way of the connecting rods.
In a supercharged engine the rods see the power at the flywheel plus the power it takes to drive the supercharger.
I wouldn't trust the long 240 rods.

The much stouter Compstar rod is shorter than the 240 but longer than the 300 rod and will allow a longer piston skirt for better stability in the bore than the 240 rod.

Stay with the supercharger on the driver side.

The HP will let you run an intercooler.
It has many features not found on the Sniper
It has safety features to protect your engine like Lean or rich safety, knock control ..ect.
It has integrated water injection control
Any style of ignition.
Data logging.
The list goes on.

You don't have to modify the vanes in a TFI distributor.
The leading edges are equally spaced for ignition and injection timing.
The trailing edges have the one spacing difference as the marker for #1 cylinder.

I'm wondering if a magnet was installed in the side of an aluminum cam gear, if a 3 wire Hall Effect sensor mounted to the timing cover would pick it up for a cam sync signal?

So far the cast crank has not given any problems with street level rpm and power.

Water/Methanol injection will greatly reduce the chance of detonation, make more power and keep the cylinder clean from carbon deposits.

The Eaton 112 supercharger rpm should be limited to 14,000 rpm

Just like they did on Powernation with the turbo slant 6 cam trigger.
 
WOW!! Nice work!!
 
That looks like a Crown Vic / Grand Marquis IFS. Did you narrow it yourself?
Very nice work.
 
Dropped my motor off.

He is completely redoing the head. The previous shop did a pretty poor job.

New valve job, bronze sleeves.

Once he gets the block bored, and valves done we will size the chamber and order pistons. Will also be ordering a head gasket from flatout. Need to order the super charger gaskets as well.

I will need to pull the trigger on a cam. Looking hard at Straub and the rollers. Gonna give them a call this week.

Where were the forged pistons from, DSS?
