Correct, this is a pushrod block but no push rods or lifters, the pushrod cam is used the run the distributor and timing gears for the overhead cams. 4 valves per cylinder. Was featured in 1971 Hotrod Magazine. thanks Greg Q

Great stuff from such an early attempt at a four valve head on a US V8. The earliest 4 valve head I have ever seen was a friend's British1922 Matchless racing motorcycle engine. It was a V twin, with cast iron barrels and heads and exposed valve gear, chain driven. Can't remember the displacement, maybe 750 to 1,000cc. Designed to run on methanol, I think, so about 13: 1 compression ratio. The cooling fins were really small and inadequate.
@adamtooms8977
@adamtooms8977 2 жыл бұрын
If it was designed for methanol, perhaps then the requitement for cooling fins would be lower generally than an equivalent petrol engine. Methanol has a lower chalorific value than petrol meaning you squirt much more of it in, so the cooling effect is also greatly increased, reducing the requirement for cooling fins. Im not familiar with the bike you mention but it sounds like a bit of a beast

This story will likely not be believed but is all true. I was a huge race car fan back in the 1960s. I was also a mechanical design student and my focus was engine design. In the mid-60s I designed a DOHC head for a small block Chevy. The result was a 2 valve per cylinder head with the intake ports coming down between the cams, like Lamborgini. It featured 2 spark plugs per cylinder and had the valves out of a 396 Chevy engine. The combusion chamber was a true hemi. It, like the Moser had removable cam towers. I chose Harvey Crane to do the cams and sent him a letter outlining what I was doing. I never heard back from him. Later I heard that he had gotten ahold of a couple of Chrysler Engineers and I strongly suspect that the Moser engine was the result. I personally cut the cam blanks myself, including the rifle bored oilers. Just needed someone to grind them.

I’ve built quite a few early 90s LT1s and one of the first things I learned, was to immediately scrap the whole “gear driven” water pump setup (which is possibly the 2nd worst design GM ever allowed out on the roads, besides the nightmare setup of their 1990s DOHC Quad 4), along with one of the worst designed distributors/ignition systems ever….the “Optispark”! You run an electric water pump, and do a “LS” style Coil-on-Plug conversion and then you’re well on your way! We eventually got 578HP (wheels) and a best 1/4 mile of 10.34@126 mph out of a N/A 1994 Z/28 (factory 1LE package)

The 3.4 DOHC has the same bore center distance as the SBC and LS. There was an effort by some people to convert the Poncho OHC six to DOHC using two 3.4 heads welded together. Converting a OHV to OHC leaves two choices to drive the cams. 2:1 off of the crank or 1:1 off of an idler shaft in the original cam bore. Which is what the LQ V-6 did. In some ways I like what Chrysler did with the 3.5. One cam which operated the intakes with seperate rockers and a split rocker for the exhausts.

GM teamed up with Lotus in the early 90's and made the LT5 DOHC (4 cam 32 valve small block V8) available in the C4 ZR1 it also had a ZF-S6 speed manual transmission which was rare for the time. I believe this was Chevy tossing their hat into the Supercar ring because make no mistake about it today's C8 is a super car and Corvette has been in the super car status since the Z06 now if they would just make it with AWD then I'll buy one.

Makes one wonder what either the DZ302 are the 327 would turn if those were on top of some with good parts inside and bumped compression up on them. 9800 on a 350 would that not be even greater on those mentioned above. I know my old 327 would turn more rpms than any 350 I ever built, and my buddy has a numbers matching 69 Z that twist up there too after we rebuilt it even using stock parts. Makes old men wonder about such things, and thank you for bringing them out for everyone to sit listening with wild thoughts from our younger days running through our minds.

The DZ 302 and 327 are nothing special. Shorter stroke means they can rev higher before reaching a terminal piston speed. You can de stroke any old sbc and have about the same foundation. He'll, you can slap together a junkyard 302 sized chevy suing the crank and rods from the L99 4.3L. The stroke already allows those things to live happily at 7k using pedestrian internals. They would have been an interesting entry level V8 option for the 4th gen F body. Especially since your basic choices early on were a 160hp V6 then a 270hp V8. The L99 had 200hp even and would have made for a fun car imo. If they still did multiple displacements they could have done a 4.3L L99 a 5.0L using that stroke in a 350 bore block, then the LT1 5.7 I bet the 5.0 would have been distressing close to the 5.7 in power though.

@@DrewLSsix Except the DZ blocks, (there was another prefix for the 302 exclusive to Z/28) had added webbing to strengthen the block. A 350 crank wouldn't turn in these blocks, but the large journal 327 crank will spin. The original LT-1 (370hp 350) used the same parts as the Z/28 (290hp 302) the 350 blocks didn't have the added webbing the 302 block's do. The 302 was built with Trans-Am racing in mind. As were the angle plug heads, and cam's, the 2X4 cross ram intake some other part's not standard production. Sold over the counter at Chevy dealers as "Service Package" "Not For Highway Use." Having had a 1970 LT-1 engine with service package angle plug head's, and the hotter of the two cams, (part number ending 754) Z/28-LT-1 hi-rise intake, an original Holley 780 cfm carb off my dad's '69 Z/28 unfortunately never could get it working right, so changed to a 750 double-pump. A Delco dual point distributor, and aftermarket roller rockers a necessity with cam's at, and above .500 lift in a small block Chevy) In the old day's a 283 punched .125 was called a 301. 4" bore, 3" stroke is 301.84 if I recall. Being more than 301.50 GM called it 302 rounding up the number. Same with 350 at 348. something something. Just short of 349. The old two bolt small crank engines would generally tolerate .125 overbore. Big blocks as well up to .150 over. Later post 1975 engines are thin wall castings, and won't tolerate more than .060 over bore. The other thing that made the Z/28-LT-1 engines a little special is that Smokey Yunick was in on the design of the intake manifolds, the cross-ram manifold in particular. To date this is best small block intake ever designed. The same is true for the MkIV big block engines L-88 427- LS-6 454. LS-7 (shared part's with L-88) never saw production, only just enough L-88 were produced to qualify for racing requirements. Initially L-88 had no factory hp rating. Hot Rod magazine had one dyno'd, came in with 568 hp. 1968 or ,69 I think. Insurance companies had apoplexy over the no hp rating, and this was settled at 450hp. Slightly conservative, like the 290hp rating on the 302, 1967-1969. Chevy played with horsepower ratings too 1965 L-78 396 375hp in cars, 425hp in Corvette. The latter number being more accurate. 1970-1/2 Camaro Z/28 LT-1 350 360hp. 370hp in Corvette.

Looks very big and complicated.I am involved with dirt late model racing and the engines we run have one cam and two valves per cylinder.These engines make 700 to over 1000. HP with a carburetor all day long and are relatively durable

How would these compare valvetrain-wise to the Mercury Racing QCV big blocks?

This is awesome i am need a tall deck block with quad or triple valve per cylinder dual overhead cams and dual intake runners per cylinder together with a 'layed over the valve cover' long ram individual runner intake manifolds with mechanical smart carbs meant for dirt bikes of great altiitude variance, the bore stroke ratio shall be 1.075:1 and the rod ratio for Natrually aspirated shall be 2:1 and the rod ratio for boosted shall be 1.8:1 that is all. This is a daily driven street engine endurance and fuel mileage with power on tap when high throttled and a miser when foot is off the fuel pedal This is how you build a proper daily driver responsibly

I still have my copy of the August, 1971 issue of HRM only because Rod & Custom magazine had been combined in June or July of 1971 with HRM. At the time I had a subscription to R&C and was sorry to see R&C compromised the way it was with the two magazines being merged together. I always enjoyed the R&C articles written by Bud Bryan, Doane Spencer, John Thawley, Jim Jacobs, Tom Medley, and Tex Smith as well as Pat Broiler's photography.

We are working on it. Pete is known in the Land Speed Racing Community. Kevin is also Boat guy who does a lot with Hydroplanes. They are both focusing on doing their work and I'm hanging out helping them document the cool work they do and getting this out to everyone.

This is interesting and looks like a lot of fun work to get put together. I wonder about the cylinder head design; if they went through all the trouble to make a 4V head why did they give it such a low intake port entrance? Were they trying to meet some sort of packaging requirements?

Good question! I'm not sure, Pete has some of the original Moser castings which are painted blue the same color as soon on the 1971 HotRod magazine
