SC plans
 

Options and more options...

I will be rebuildign my 80 euro SC 3.0 liter do to head stud. This is what I am thinking of doing as upgrades...

bumpin up displacement to 3.2 with maybe 10.5:1 CR non CIS 98mm P&C's. S cams. 24 raceware head studs. Port and polish heads, valve job, new valve guides, and dual plugs. 46 PMO and some sort of dual plug spark system ( dont know if going dual distributor or electronic yet) and finally SSI or headers.

a few little questions:
What kinda power am I lookin at?
I am figuring this will cost arround 9K to DIY. Am I close?
Am I missing anything?
what kinda machining is required on the case for the 98mm P&C's?

I am reading books as much as I can.... hershey day is closin fast, and I need to define my final motor configuration before then...and maybe even start on the teardown...

thanks in advance!

I'd say prepare yourself for around 240 to 250 hp.

9K is about the right ball park with about 1K to spare, I think.

I've never heard of a need to machine the case for 98mm. Just slip in the P&Cs, though I could be wrong.

Whatever the case, your plans sounds great! Update us often with your progress. :)

46 carbs might be too big honestly. the s cams might be too lumpy for street driving especially if you plan on using carbs. as far as the ignition, electramotive makes a stand alone unit which eliminates the dizzy. two coil packs, a trigger and your off.

hope all goes well, got any pics???

Wow, that sounds like a great engine. You'll need to build the engine to spin to around 7500 rpm to get the most out of it. I agree that 46 carbs might be to big for the street. Talk to Richard at PMO. I disagree that S-cams/Webers are too lumpy. On a 3.2 they will be very streetable. Seems like I just said that somewhere else...

Good luck,
