I'm interested in hearing feedback on a 1776 single port. I am considering building a 1776 for my KG and I've got a number of good single port heads around so I'd be closer to driving going the sp route. I could always switch to a DP sometime down the road if I desired. I just need to build a bottom end which would be compatible with sp or dp or stock carb or dual carbs yadayada...
Still dreaming it all up, Marcus<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

A good friend of mine built a 1776 years ago for his son, SP stock mild port heads, holly bug spray and a norris 407 cam. 67 bug mostly striped of interior, lowered with stock chrome wheels, it ran mid-15s in the quarter mile, really a go getter. Other guy's with bug's did not, would not understand how a 1776 would/could/did beat up on there 1835++cc engine with "BIG" carbs.
It is based on how the engine was built.

9:1 is conservative.

Meet trhe CR with the CORRECT cam and valve sizes for the cylinder heads, and you have a recipe...otherwise, just throw in the towel before starting..

Everything else I have read said that I would have to burn midgrade gas if it was set at 7.1:1 per the other posts on the forum. If it was set to 9.1:1 could I get away with running Super unleaded gas?

I don't even use 7:1 CR on bus engines...

My bus engine runs at 9.1:1 and is 2200cc, pulls 7,0000 pounds like a champ with head temps just like stock!

I will take your word for it. I guess I will bump it up a bit. I am just scared of running it hot. I have a set of real German tin as well as the super cool tin.I guess I will get some deck lid stand offs for the summer.

Oh I forgot to tell you that I am going to stick with the 92's and leave it a 1835cc.

Sounds like you have the makings of a killer motor there. I bet you paid a ton for it.

I had to sell my plasma for it.

I dunno...why run 92s??? those things are paper thin, in terms of longevity. Why not step up to 94s?

Because I dont want to spend anymore money on machine work.

If you can give a real deal. I mean a real deal. I probably dont have anything you would be interested in them, but if you can cut me a good deal i would like them. Let me know and if I am able I will come up and get them. Thanks.

Hi all,
This is my first post, hope it works.
I'm the guy with the 1776 in Athens.
(Thanks Jake for making me FAMOUS on this forum. hee hee)

Big Question:

Has anyone seen a full flowed motor that doesn't leak oil at the 90 degree fitting at the block???

I did the ff machining job myself and accept full responsibility for the leakage. I just want to know if there is some miracle sealer for this problem in pipe threads that leak.

Thanks

Clyde
