<div dir="ltr">Hi FOTers, I'm toying with the idea of building a 1500 race engine for the spit. I have the Moldex billet crank in my 1296 race engines and like the smoothness created by the "ghost main" style. I know 1500's have a problem revving (and staying
together) so I was wondering if anyone has successfully built a 1500 racing engine with one.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm looking because a couple of groups run vintage races in the northeast on very hilly tracks and I'd like more torque. The way they classify cars, a 1300 and a 1500 both compete in the same class. If I can get more stroke and not give up too much top
end (like a different diff ratio "provides") I'd be willing to give it a try.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Has anyone found a solution to keeping a 1500 together to 7K (more than once)?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>thanks</div>
