S197 3V Fabman's build; How did we get here? Build Thread

[JDee]

What did they do to it? A straight rebuild or balance/blueprint? Some porting maybe?
Gotta give us some meat to guess with!

Its a factory new Gen 3 bottom end with all stock parts, dissassembled and clearenced by AED.
No balancing, no trick parts.
The Gen 2 heads did get CNC ported but valves and valve springs remain stock. Again, no trick parts.
This is still basically a stock motor. If you go back a few pages I show everything.

Not sure what is going on with Nationals Reg; just heard the scuttlebutt about that over the weekend. I'm not planning to be there to compete but there is a possibility I'll be there to crew for Chris. Final appearance details TBD pending contract review w/ FTWynne Motorsports lol.

I hope not, I've only run two NASA races this year and haven't budgeted the time off nor the funds!
You'll see why in a few weeks.

I was pretty happy with the old engine....I just can't help but wonder what the gains are going to be with this one....any guesses? Anyone?

I'll guess 2% more peak HP, 3% more peak torque, and 3% more overall under the power curve

Must have been my wishful thinking....I saw Chris on there and assumed you guys came as a pair....well, maybe that's not the words I should be using but you know what I mean....so what do you have in the works? Something awesome I bet.
