Hey all
I am looking at buying a blown stroked 371 from a friend to use in a front engine nostalgia dragster…..
I don’t know anything about these engines. I do know & trust the machine shop that built this engine.
I am looking for a magneto & either a 2 or 4 pot hilborn FI setup & pump…..
I appreciate your help

Welcome to the site, post some pictures of your project. Is there a question here?

 

A few…..
in a low boost application, like a weak 6-71 & E86, are stock rods & a welded crank OK? Not gonna spin the motor over 5500…..

 

No pix, I’m 3500 miles away fm motor. I did see it in person last August, then it wasn’t for sale….. now it is….

 

If it were built for the blower you should be fine.

 

Just my opinion, but Hilborn fi were like a toggle switch, full on or full off with not much in the middle. They didn't cross over much to anything other than the go straight stuff.

My ex brother-in-law may still have a complete set up that was used on his dirt track rig in the sixties that didn't work out well, he hardly ever sell anything, but it may be worth a try. I can get you a number if you want to try.. It would have about 100% cool factor for about 2% of the car crowd, as most wouldn't even know what it is.... Tedd

 

All one can do is ask……ask him
