          | If a d19 is old enough for the class find a gas one and dump the buda  put a 301 in 477 with a 301 is easy 477 from a 226 is expensive to do

          | That would calculate to 4 1/2" bore and a 5 inch stroke. |

          | And that would be A LOT cheaper and more competitive than a 226 didn't say he had to go all the way to. 477 with the 301 still way ahead of a 226

          | I have taken a 301 to 440 cubes once. Not sure about 477. I'd have to have connecting rods made for that, if there's even room to swing it. |

          | Two things to note about this original post. #1. 7000 pounds is really too heavy for a D-17 chassis and 100 HP to be competitive. #2. If the cubic inch rule is 477, someone will eventually be there. The top of the class will probably not be a 300 cubic inch engine. This is how it will shake out over time. If this is a brand new class, my predictions here may take a while to materialize, but I assure you, in the end the largest engine that is allowed will eventually dominate. You also neglected to specify what size of rear tires that will be allowed. I see no carburetor rule, either size or quantity. The HP of this class could be all over the place from 100 to 500 depending on what creativity the competitors have. |

          | 500+ in a 301 block on gas isnt a problem |

          | Ok 226 needs 5 in bore and 6 in stroke to get there and that's going to get a expensive moto compared to a 301

          | Do they have block rules?  Stock or factory replacement kind of thing?  I have learned that these classes tend to be made for one color of machine.  If you cam run any block I see a bunch of red machines with 466 engines dropped in them.  Or does MM have a block that big.  Either way, its gonna be darn hard to make a D17 competitive.  And I doubt 1/4 horse a cube is going to be near enough. AaronSEIA

          | A 17  is still a far cry away. There's a big difference between a 4 cylinder and 6  cylinder. |

          | procure a 2800 gas - do the mods , add 180 sheetmetal  - roll the finals back a hole,  now you might not end up shooting maggies '   drawers...

          | I agree with tbran. With a 410 cube limit this is a class a properly augmented 301 gas would be very good at. |

          | Being nosy what orginization will you be puuling with. You just described the 7000 lb class with nkitpa group. Tried a D 17 in that 7000 lb this past year, just not enough frame for the class. U need a 180 or 185. who is looking for a 301? do you want gas or diesal. |

          | Find a gas cylinder head, manifold, big carb, distributer and camshaft and cut 1/4" off the tops of your diesel pistons. |
