He did it on a bridgeport. Bored to fit the sleaves, took counter bore out of top of block,we turned the sleaves down on the bottom .o26 gave sleaves. 001 clerance and pressed them in. I used lock tight sleave sealer. 9 years ago never leaked. We o-ringed the top of block, used a .050 stainless wire and copperhead gasket. I used big block Chevy pistons, 4.600 with a 1.24 piston height. The piston were flat top we took a little off top of pistons to back off compression some. It has 110 hp. I run 10 psi air pressure in tires, u want them to squat a little so the whole lug makes contact with the track not just the center.

When you run (excessively) low air pressure, you lose hitch height and, thus, weight transfer.

How did your friend bore it? Does he have a engine boring machine or something else? I have a Bridgeport mill and am trying to figure out if I can bore with it. Its about 600 to bore a block and 1800 to stroke a crank around my area. If I could bore it myself, I can get sleeves cheap, and am thinking about making my own 4 5/8 pistons.
I was thinking about tires and why 38 seem to do better and what I have seen is 38 always get 3 cleats on the track. My 28 can to if I run low pressure. So if I can get the same bars on the track it seems like 28s should be able to work. Maybe I am thinking wrong.

I had a wc engine with 4 1/8 pistons and 45 crank. I ran 13.6-36 tires on 14 inch rims I had big valves and ported head,carb work and d17 cam. Ran 1550 rpms I did good in classes 3500,3750,4000,4250. Tires and rpms in 1st put me at 3.5 mph. But at times I ran out of power in classes over 4000 to 4500. So I built a D17 motor to 400 cubes. Plenty of power now. Now I run 15.5 38s 1st gear 2o% over rpms at 4.8 mph.I have $3000 in complete build, I did all the work myself. A friend did the boring of block and I had the crank stroked to 6 inches 4.600 bore.

Good luck finding a 175 cam and if u did pretty sure you have to change the oil pump also. I think a d17 gives you more rpms but you could just mill your gov weights down a little. Finding a rc rearend is not easy or cheap Id save your money for the motor. You could send your cam out to be reground for around $200 dollars. ive got a 240 in my wc 11:1 comp. reground cam, larger intake valves stock exhaust ported head, larger carb and it makes a honest 55 hp. I have high crop gears pull second gear till 5 thousand pound class then drop to first gear. Sometimes I win sometimes I lose.

No way a stock HP WC motor would pull 38's

If you wanted to pull a wc in a 3mph class, 4500lb max wt, rules allow 15.5-38s how would you build it?
Would you go 15.5s no matter what, or try 28s?
Would you build the engine past stock hp?
Overall how would you build it?
