Slight overshoot on power output
January 12, 2010 – 3:39 am
When Ford Engineer Brett had us build him a new motor for his project car he had one specific requirement. He said “I need to try and get 460ftlb of torque”.
So not wanting to dissapoint we did everything we could to make sure the 408ci Clevo was a ”torky motor”. When we put it on the dyno it turned out to be a real stump puller with 515ftlb……………oops……………..sorry bout that Brett.
Maybe you could put some sand bags in the boot to slow it down a bit.
Our favorite “towie” Dazz
January 12, 2010 – 3:15 am
With a factory block and crank this 351ci Clevo has CHI heads a solid roller cam and makes a very healthy 642hp on race fuel and 617hp on pump fuel.
Fitted to an XT Falcon the car made top 60 at the recent Summernats in Canberra.
Darran is always there when we need him so we were very pleased when his engine project came up so well and to see the last minute running around to prep the car paid off.
Twin engines for twin brothers
January 12, 2010 – 2:55 am
Twins Brett and Troy like to do most things together so we were very pleased when the chose Dandy engines to build identacal 378 Ci Clevo’s for them.
With CHI heads and flat tappet cams both engines made around 580hp putting big smiles on the faces of the brothers and thier dad who came in to see the engines dono’d.
It was a real pleasure getting to know the twins and thier family and freinds who came in to visit us during the builds. We are looking forward to seeing the two XY’s up and running soon.
Drago’s 69 Camaro
January 12, 2010 – 2:20 am
Drago’s 540 ci BBC has AFR heads, flat tappet cam , it runs 3.5 diff gears and 10.5 tyres and makes a very healthy 710 hp.
Best time on the track is 9.30 with the help of a small nitrous hit.
Incredibly Drago uses this car as his daily driver.
I’ll bet the nieghbours love it when he leaves early for work……….not.
Tony’s Project HQ
January 12, 2010 – 2:01 am
After showing good power on the dyno 1020hp on 15psi boost the turbo motor is now in the HQ and has seen the track a couple of times.
On only it’s 4th pass it ran a very respectable 9.90 @ 140 mph on 255 radial tyres but the next time out it split a speedflow trans line and Franky went for a ride on the wild side.
Sweet XT
October 21, 2009 – 10:09 pm
Victor and Gino really know how to build a car.
This beauitiful XT Fairmont not only looks great but really gets up and goes too.
A recent trip to Heathcote saw them run a 10.51 @ 129MPH in street trim with full exhaust and ET street tyres.
That has drawn a lot of attention to this standard stroke 351 Cleveland.
With 3V heads and manifold and lots of TLC the engine made 628hp on the pump.
Well done guys.
Strongbrew Racing
September 25, 2009 – 2:10 am
Steve Quilliam and the STRONGBREW team are right on target after thier first year in circuit boat racing.
Powered by a 598HP 315ci Dandy Engines CHI headed SBF, the 104mph Childsplay shallow vee has notched up several wins and top 3 finishes.
Our congratulations go out to Steve and the guys and we look forward to seeing more success from this impressive outfit.
Military precision
September 3, 2009 – 12:42 am
Dandy Engines played host to the “Project Digger” crew this week.
After a day on the dyno thier blown BB Ford made 938 HP and 835 ft lbs.
Enough to smoke the tracks on a tank, let alone the tyres on thier project LTD.
We would like to thank CPL Ben Hewlett, CPL Chris Newman, CFN Doug Street and CFN Erin Taylor for spending time with us and showing how the Army does it. Thier precision and efficiency would rival the best professional race team and we could tell they love what they do, and have a lot of fun doing it.
Frank’s Mustang
August 31, 2009 – 7:09 am
Frank’s immaculate Mustang concourse car had the Dandy Engines treatment
done to his Boss 302 heads.
We port filled the intake runners to get them down to 190cc.
Running a factory duel plane intake manifold the engine makes a healthy 370 HP and 340 ft lb
Considering the cam has only 218 @ .050 it’s a real stump puller.
