Not knowing a lot about Chev small bolocks, I set
a self-imposed red line of 6200. I did wind it
right to 6200 on my last run, and that limit
still managed to put me into the record book, but
I'm wondering what a reasonable red-line should
be. I don't want to be breaking motors, but I
do want to see what it can do. This is an
all-stock Chev 350, 4 bolts, stock rockers and
springs in 882 (76cc) Chev head castings, flat
top pistons, and a cam that specs out at 260. My
plan for spring is to install an electric water
pump and electric fan. The motor would have
wound just a little more this year, but with
those changes, it will hopefully have just enough
more power to allow a little tighter winding
(valve train permitting, of course). What do you
guys think the max RPM for that motor should be?
