Am i the only one who saw Dan Esslinger with his NA engine make 268 HP with the guys from Horse Power TV? Finally, the 2.3 Lima getting some respect.

Watched it this past weekend, pretty cool episode.....
1979 Pace Car ~ 1982 GT T-Top
1986 1C SVO ~ 1986 GT vert
That was pretty cool!!! Bung a turbo on that thing!!!!
It was nice to get some publicity for the SOHC Ford.
Enough of that, it was giving me a headache.
pretty cool
84 SVO Comp Prep, Dark Charcoal Metallic, 35lb injectors, LA3, TCIC, 18lbs
Fun to watch. Especially with the baffle to better distribute airflow in the intake.....D
No good deed goes unpunished!
1985.5 SVO 1B
Not enough bang for the buck.
And theres a lot of bucks in that build.
The best part was 30 second disassemble of the engine.
-RICH-
I have heard about Esslinger's motors. Does he make any SVO specific stuff or is he just doing dirt track race motors?
I don't know if you would call this SVO specific but they make lots of engine parts we can use. Lets face it, good original cores are getting scarce.

86 SVOs = 2A - Drag & 2R - Driver & 1C - Rusty
84 GT Turbos = 'verts & hatch
coincidence the block is 2,300$? lol.... thats crazy high for just a block.
Not necessarily when you consider it's basically a custom block which is probably far superior to a factory casting. Now if they made a tall deck version.......
I stroked a 2300 to 2600 with their billet crank - with a few other billet parts, some major iron head work, and a big turbo - I got 380 RWHP and 466 RWTQ. If I paid the proper time into tuning that motor, I would have done even better. I learned that you can't just pay for power, you need to invest time into it too. As you can see - Dan does invest time.
They have great parts - but you need to be prepared to go racing...
