let's see ... since it's 2 stroke it doesn't matter if it's right side up or up side down.. put injection on it... mount two side by side...still be lighter than a bbc.... but could you hide it under a hood ???.. then you wouldn't be laughed off the track just out of the pit's .. broke dad

Gary, I don't think a 450 cu in hemi 2-stroke on nitro would be laughed out of anywhere once they got their thumbs out of their ears! Could you imagine the noise at about 15,000! I could hear NHRA now.,.................................................................BANNED!!

in actuality you nuts could make this work if you used the Detroit design with the scavenge ports in the cylinder and the exhaust valves in the head ( yes Detroit uses poppet valves in the head ) there was a guy down in lemont IL his name was Marty that made a v-12? 91 series Detroit diesel racing engine for a semi truck that ran 12's , as for the merc marine v-8s they are oil injection on the cranks w/roller bearings and there used to be a class of midget racers that used them before they outlawed them , they where too fast accelerating and the cars would flip over . a two stroke can be mounted in any position and if you are using injection its easier yet , heres a little known fact . the messerschmitt me-109 V engines which where 4 stroke drysumped where mounted with the cranks up and the cylinder heads down in other words the motor was upside down , the reason was so the pilot could see over the motor . oh my I just realized I'm as nutty as you guys ... OK lets order pizza and a get some suds and hammer one of these bad boys out .

weight versus hp mmmmm v8 2 stroke nitrous = ???? maybe a bigger bang for the buck or just the bang Gary

Gary the Detroit isn't as heavy as some conventional diesels like the cat/Cummings ,they are light ( a 6-71 weighs about as much as a BBC ) the v series are even lighter and they are considered a high speed diesel ( 4200 max rpm before you start bending valves and throwing rods ) I had a 2-71 run away on me in the yard and before she puked it was spinning around 5 grand ( talk about noise!!!!) so I think the casting would be good enough for nitro as they are sleeved ( can't remember if its a wet or dry sleeve) and the nice thing all the drives are built into the block so no separate sheaves to worry about . the only bad thing about a 2 stroke is timing if the timing gets off on start up even with the gas motors you can get them to run Backwards ( which is a weird sight to see smoke coming out of the breather housing ) Honda corp did a study on the 2 stroke for cars in the 70's and had some rather unusual designs that worked real good . T Suzuki ( not related to the motorcycle manf. covers this in some of his books .
