tuning ford's 2.8 v6
Discussion
Specialised engine's site isn't much better either .. very frustrating to use the Burton's site.Specialised engines do bore and stroke to 3.6, but that's outside the scope of what we can do.
The engine in the taz develops 193bhp as is on john noble's rolling road so that's not too shabby .. it's also very surprising considering the very limited mods allowed under the previous season's regs... so all credit ot the previous builder whoever that was.
essentially it'll be a development of what we have in this engine, but I'm building from scratch.
The std heads will have to stay, as will the crank and the breathing limits us to about 6500 revs so the weak rod bolts wil be changed for arp units and the rods sorted.
we need to meet the taz group A spec of 180bhp / ton over a wide rev range, so wild cams are out ..
just wondering if there's been any development in the last 10 years on this engine .. everything burtons tell me is old news and there's been no work from them recently, not surprising as it's an old engine not widely used as a performance starting point!!
