Part of a
discussion on another board concerned building 410 engines without all the
trick Outlaw type lightweight parts for non-wing racing. The conclusion seemed
to be that you could build a heavier 410 for about the same price as a good
360.
Any insight on this?
"Wesmar, I know all of the big teams want lightweight stuff but have you ever
thought about putting together a heavier motor and offering it at a cheaper
price? Dynos the same but heavier.That would be a great motor for people
starting out or on a tight budget."
“We could in fact build a heavier motor without all the trick lightweight
pieces as mentioned, BUT two things here, 1) it's a monkey see monkey do sport
and hey if Steve Kinser, Schatz, or any other top team has it then I have to
have it. 2) The re-sale value will be way down because of the heaviness of the
engine. But like quite a few posters on here I will very much agree that a
heavier or older engine does not matter in non-wing racing.”
“BUT, if a customer wants us to build a "no frills" engine that
would save them $10,000 as you say they can call us at 918-366-7311 and we'll
see what we can do for them”
