All Small Six The 'Ideal' 200 Built By Committee

[1966Mustang]

• I picked up a 1978 200 a while ago, for no other purpose other than I was bored and needed a road-trip to New Jersey.
• The head has been cleaned and no cracks found. It is sitting on a shelf, partially pocket ported ... (for sale soon)
• The block has not been inspected yet. It is sitting on an engine stand. Assume it's good and can be bored.
• Also assume it's going in my 65 Mustang Coupe. My HP goal is... about 400ish
• Reply with your suggestions/ideas on the Carb/EFI, Ignition, Pistons, Cam, AL Head?, Tranny, Reardiff, Exhaust, Turbo???
• Upvote the replies you like, downvote the ones you don't (up/down arrows on the right of the replies).
• Let's have some fun with this!

As 'decisions' are made, they'll be posted here, subject to change.

Hi Xctasy, yes I remember all of your posts on the roller cams and roller litters but when I tried searching for them couldn’t bring them back up,

 

[CNC-Dude]

I have one of Does10s headers and can say that it would work with the log head but not with the CI head. The turbo and downpipe would hit the intake manifold. I had to have it modified on mine.

BEFORE
View attachment 5112


AFTER:
View attachment 5111

I saw where I was mentioned earlier about header flanges. If you could provide a header gasket to me, I can create a CAD file for you so you can get them waterjet or laser cut.

 

[xctasy]

Its all good bubba22349. That's computing. As encouragement to CNC-Dude and gus91326 all the basic parts are all being made. The Does10s header made for Kelly's 61 was always constrained by first being developed for a Turbo 250 six.

Despite the extra space liberated by being an inline six, the 200 short decks 7.803" deck is 1.666" lower than the 250, and with a 2V head, it hasn't got a prayer of fitting in the stock engine bay with A/C and alternator.

Are you going to use a girdle?

I know you want a turbo. But...

Dropping in an AC bracket and a supercharger is so much less work. I know there is always the turbo vs sc guys.

I'd like to discuss. I have the AC bracket for this 78 block. How does SC change what we're doing above? - Simpler exhaust plumbing is a plus.
I think I've done all the grinding and amateur cleanup I am equipped to do.
Is it time to bring the block and crank to the machine shop?
Does it make any sense to glyptal the innards before bringing it in?

Thanks,

Perry

 

[pmuller9]

Glyptal is done after the machine shop and final cleaning just before final assembly.
You will also want to paint the outside of the block at the same time.

The block is ready to go to the machine shop.
You may want to wait until you have connecting rods before bringing in the crankshaft.
Matt was talking about aftermarket rods?

A supercharger is a lot harder on the engine than a turbocharger because it adds stress to the crankshaft, rods and pistons that a turbo doesn't.
The correct supercharger for this build also cost a lot more than a turbocharger.
For ease of installation you are looking at a centrifugal supercharger which has a narrow power band compared to a turbocharger.

 

[1966Mustang]

Matt was talking about aftermarket rods?

Matt mentioned he had talked to several US manufacturers and has a ballpark of $100/ea but nothing concrete AFAIK.

 

[pmuller9]

I know I said the block is ready for the shop.
The machinist will need the ARP main studs so the main caps can be torqued in place.
The main line bore can then be checked for roundness and straightness.

 

[drag-200stang]

It would be nice to send it in with a deck plate, with the studs for the head, spacers will be needed.
Do not bore or deck more than to make straight.

A supercharger is a lot harder on the engine than a turbocharger because it adds stress to the crankshaft, rods and pistons that a turbo doesn't.
The correct supercharger for this build also cost a lot more than a turbocharger.
For ease of installation you are looking at a centrifugal supercharger which has a narrow power band compared to a turbocharger.

I figure a Paxton SN89 would work good with his combo. Just have to turn down the boost and add alcohol injection.

 

[pmuller9]

The Paxton SN89 is a ball drive unit that was designed for 6 lbs of boost.
If you push it much beyond that the ball drive will fail.
The old Paxton ball drive units are JUNK!

This project calls for upwards of 20 lbs of boost at high rpm.
You would be looking at a Vortech or Procharger supercharger.
Then you have to consider the price.

 

[powerband]

... while not advocating for SC inclusion in the 'committee 200' , just a few $ .01's :

One of SC's simple advantage is to run much cooler in proximity to critical engine parts (intake/carb) and 'cleaner' engine bay compared to most turbo' installations (no 'hot side').

I'm only familiar with the Vortech centrifugal superchargers , modern Paxton may be same design. Vortech doesn't require an intercooler for street application boost levels and available in different 'trim' levels from 'street' to 'full race.'

The Vortech SC's fairly universal mounting is easily adapted to most engine configurations and the linear response compared to a spooling turbo makes tuning for FI or carb simpler. With pulley size 'gearing' , the boost can be simply adjusted and controlled for a mild built small block six's limited rev' and breathing capability .

The initial COST factor precludes many builds from considering SC vs turbo , but a quality Mfg. turbo or BB turbo is competitive. SC may offer other cost advantage in not needing exhaust mods, heat shielding or an IC for modest boost levels. I paid @ $ grand for a V2 version with questionable internals from a blown up/melted piston Ford 'Lightning" P/U' clone . The PO's lack of tuning the AFR / ignition timing controls added a very short burst of power ...

How about push rods. Supplied by RAS or Smith Brothers.

Also, take a look at the Aeromotive Stealth Efi fuel tank. It uses the stock location for the lines. Or maybe Tanks Inc.

 

[1966Mustang]

Question on ConRods - If we could get a rod with proper characteristics for the application and not require crank modification, would we be able to avoid having to use custom forged pistons? Are we talking a H-Beam version of the stock ford rods - like if the 1JZ rod had an affair with the Ford Stock Rods and out popped some H-Beam version of a stock rod?

I went through and re-read the alternative rod selection thread...

- Unstruck the above question

 

[bubba22349]

There looks like there are at least 5 or more company's making these Toyota 1JZ H Beam type rods below are the 3 most reasonable priced sets Brian Crower, Molnar, and CXR

Molnar is at the top of price range at just under $700.00 and Crower about $20.00 less, and the CXR are least expensive about $215.00 or so less. The Crower and Molnar rods come with ARP rod bolts too, all offer free shipping i am sure if you called them that one or more of them might machine a custom combo rod however I doubt it would be cheaper than the cost to Mach the 200 Cranks Rod throughs down to fit the Toyota Rod bearings and width if that needed. As far as the pistions you will need the custom forged pistons even if you used a stock 200 con Rod there isn't a good off the shelve forged pistion made for the 200 six. Best of luck

[1966Mustang]

There looks like there are at least 5 or more company's making these Toyota 1JZ H Beam type rods below are the 3 most reasonable priced sets Brian Crower, Molnar, and CXR

The option being recommending now is going with the 1JZ rods and custom forged pistons from racetec.

I spoke with Tom Molnar at molnarengineering.com - he said he can make whatever is needed. So, what would be the ideal for this application?

1. What would the 'right' sized turbo rod be?
2. Is there an off-the-shelf piston for the application?

Thanks!

We are here... > Waiting on ARP Main and Head bolts to be delivered.

 

[Jmustang_65]

I seen these were recommended in the 221 Stroker kit were Chevy 334 V8 piston (3.736" Bore/1.1330 CH). The SBC 334 piston comes in forged aluminum (ICON IC835-STD) with 2 valve reliefs measuring 10cc. Price on summit is $541. Custom pistons might be around $550 from what I've seen. So that would be almost the same amount.

ICON IC835.STD ICON Premium Forged Pistons | Summit Racing

Free Shipping - ICON Premium Forged Pistons with qualifying orders of $109. Shop Pistons at Summit Racing.

www.summitracing.com

A minor problem with using the SB Chevy V8 piston is the pin diameter is 0.927", whereas the 1JZ rod has a 22mm small end (0.866"), so that would have to be addressed.

 

[pmuller9]

The rod big end can be for the Ford 2.123" crank journal or the SBC 2.100" journal since most cranks need to be turned.
Keep the Ford .912" piston pin.

If the rod length .100" longer than stock at 4.815" that would put the piston pin height at 1.410" leaving plenty of room for a thick upper ring land and a dish for low compression.
The dish volume will be at least 10cc to get a 9:1 compression ratio.
