    F355 engine vs Top Fuel Hemi
    I've posted pics of other comparisons before, just thought some of you guys might enjoy this one.
    This engine is actually going into a '67 Camaro tube chassis Pro Mod style car. The engine is a JP2 solid hemi block (no water ports) and Veney hemi heads.
    It's the same parts used in Top Fuel, except it only has 1 spark plug per cylinder and it runs on straight alcohol instead of nitromethane.

    Neat pics. How about piston weight and bobweight comparison.

    Ferrari piston and pin = 375 grams
    Hemi piston and pin = 1024 grams.
    The bobweight for the hemi is 2659 grams
    Ferrari uses no bobweights to balance the crank (180 degree crank)
