    Very good info,

    Just graphed these numbers, all but the rally motor would still be worth reving for more power, and for race motors, the torque is there for quite some rev's.

    Yes I agree, I punched some number into the old calculator and even with a reasonable torque drop they would still be making power, but unfortunately that's as high as the engines went on the dyno

    Racing stripes would fix that.

    Seriously interesting stuff though.

    I tell you what, it's a good, if extremely flawed philosophy.

    I am 99% sure that I have been fortunate enough to secure one of these said engines, I am still tracing down the exact origin of the engine, but it is down to 2 likely sources Either Bob Holden or TTA, it came out of a written off Group A sprinter and has been passed from from there to two other owners the current has fitted it into an AE71 more that 8 years ago, but has never finished it off, it has now been converted to carbys but still has the original inlet and EFI system with it, the engine features under bucket shims, larger TRD valves, TRD Cams, TRD pistons, TRD crank, TRD Rods, Remote oil cooler, Factory style RWD exhaust, plus more, the nature of the gearbox is still unknown, but i have been told that it was the original with the engine, so i am hoping that when I get it home and investigate further I will be pleasently surprised. An engine of this heritage does not usually fall off the radar, so I am hoping that someone out there will have some info on the engine and fill in some gaps for me in the mystery of the origin of this engine

    Cheers
    Jon

    sounds interesting Jon, keep us updated.

    This is off topic but I thought you guys might find it interesting. I know of someone who has a brand new bigport in his shed from the 80s, never started.
