Potential Powerplant for Cheater

We know, from word-of-mouth, about some of the iterations of Cheater's powerplants. While we won't be able to do an exact replica, we are definitely thinking of nostalgic power, including a 283 short

The Crank Shaft is a 327 Small journal Steel Crank that is Standard on rods and mains with new bearings. The crank has been knife edged on the counter weights, to reduce windage. All the rotating assembly has been balanced to eliminate vibration. Crank has also been cross Drilled for better oil flow. The Connecting rods are Childs and Albert’s Aluminum 5.7 small journal rods. The Aluminum Rods reduce the weight and lets the engine Rev quicker.

A light weight Racing piston is used with this set up also reduce weight. The pistons are TRW 7667 and 7661 dome pistons according to which side valve relief is on. The light weight pistons are connected to the light Aluminum Rods with lightweight racing wrist pins. The Pistons were also lightened and matched in weight. The Pistons were then Gas Ported. Gas porting is the small holes drilled in the top of the piston. This hole lets compression go to the back of the top ring which is only .043 thick. When the engine is on the compression stroke, the pressure in the cylinder blows the ring out against the wall of the cylinder. Then the ring loosens back to normal. The Pistons were then fitted with file fit rings. The rings are thin to reduce friction on the cylinder wall. The top ring is only .043 thick the second ring is 1/16 and the oil ring is 1/8.

The Block was Epoxyed red in the bottom part of the block and gray in the lifter galley. This is to help oil drain off, to get the oil back to the oil pan quick. The Engine has new cam Bearings and Brass Freeze Plugs and has been toughly cleaned and rodded out.
