638 cu. in. can am engine
I sure would like to see that 638 cu. in. bored and strocked 430 aluminum can am engine. I know McLaren got about 850 hp but the largest engine they ever had was 515 cu. in.
Some where in my collection of useless information is a note book that has all the engine serial numbers used by McLaren in one year. It was an interesting excersise to see just how often they changed motors. |

While I didn't see that particular motor (I didn't know enzo back then), I think it was done by boring .060 over, & fitting in a 1/2" stroker crank from a 454 (the cranks were custom made). Not something for road racing with, but pure hell on a drag strip!
I imagine that with that much stroke that the revs were limited to 5000 or so. If the 850 hp number is correct, can you say "torque out the wazoo" ? |
