I was at the pick n pull today, and saw this:  Sorry about the framing, the rows there don't really give much room. It was sitting on a modern-ish truck frame, had an EFI mopar V8 of some kind. I think this is the oldest thing I've seen at a pick n pull. Breaks my heart thinking about them crushing that and the '58 F100 that was there, but what you gon' do. There was also this:  And on the way home this:  Too bad there's no more cell phone pics thread, this really goes there. Excuse my wildly-aiming-phone-while-driving and also my horribly dirty windshield, and, well, the rest of the truck.

It's nominally Chevy based but totally custom built. Most high end drag racing mills are custom designed, Donovan started that in the late 60's and early 70's when Chrysler pulled the plug on the Hemi. Nowadays billet blocks are all the rage, CNC machining has become advanced enough for random dudes to own and program the machines to produce anything they want. Like, that Sonny's block is a sorta Chevy, but with custom cooling and oiling, Hemi heads, and most accessories relocated for packaging. Frankenstein poo poo.

You're at the point with an engine like that where every component in them is already custom, and the 'design' is remarkably simple. It may have theoretically started life as a Chevy (he has one listed as a Pontiac, interestingly) but everything has been scaled well past compatibility with any parts that weren't purpose-built for this monster. Speaking of custom parts...  Apparently those are 17" steelies set up for the hubcaps. I kinda want them.

I'm not being a dick, I genuinely don't understand. Familiarity, and also simplicity. You ever see a Top Fuel team work on an engine? Exotic head setups needlessly complicate the procedure, and truth be told, no racing engine in history has approached the power and torque numbers that a nitro gulping pushrod V8 is capable of. Here's a Top Fuel team doing a tear down. McGee quad cams were a thing in the 1980's. I guess they were an Australian take on drag engines, but the maintenance was a bit more than the average pushrod engine, and rules changes eventually did them in.

I'm not being a dick, I genuinely don't understand. Also, pushrod engines aren't inherently bad or anything. Compared to a DOHC engine you need more (internal) displacement to hit a given power level, all else being equal - but the exterior dimensions are smaller and the weight and complexity is less.

Cost is a factor, too. When you're replacing parts after every pass, poo poo adds up quick. Less moving parts means less can go wrong, too. If I'm throwing thousands of horsepower and torque through my engine I'd rather have one big rear end cam and sixteen beefy valves over four small cams and thirty two thin valves any day of the week. The exotic parts in drag racing are the clutch packs, honestly. Dual clutches are ancient tech in the drag racing world, but they are all the rage now in supercars.

The McGee engines were at one point more powerful but the power delivery wasnt good - all peak power and nothing resembling an rpm range. So if you got it into the handful of rpm it worked and it delivered high ET's - but the 15 meter/reaction time usually sucked and there was other problems plsu they were kinda more expensive. They were kinda getting somewhere in fixing the problems before drag racing got concerned about the ET's being pulled and cars not being able to stop. OHC motors were clearly going to just keep the ET problem getting worse. They made a one cylinder engine so they could test their designs on a dyno too.

 So I did some reading and McGee's are kinda cool. Started out in the 70's, based on the Offenhauser, Offy, Indy engine. The McGee V8 is two Offy's fused, with a 426 Hemi based crank. Crank was because NHRA mandated some "stock" parts, and a 426 crank enabled the engine to go forward, with the added bonus of being the strongest crank going at the time. So they mess around in Australia for awhile and never really catch on. By the 80's the operation moved to the US because of better sponsorship, and R&D, opportunities. They had both 3 valve and 4 valve per cylinder heads, and apparently the best results were the 3 valves running on alcohol. The 4 valves running on nitro torched heads due to failing valves and valvetrain parts. As Cat Terrist said, they started to get a handle on some of the head issues, and trap speeds started to creep up. Out of the hole they weren't so hot due to initial wind up being slower than a 2 valve pushrod. Lots more stuff flying around, the pushrod had a torque advantage at low rpms. However, the McGee had a higher redline, and effectively posted times similar to what a turbo engine would do. Once it started going, it kept going. So E.T.'s weren't really better or worse, they just left slower and crossed the line faster. This was concerning because all of a sudden the trap speed was going to far exceed what was normal. Had they the time to develop further, man, they would have hauled rear end. So they got legislated out of the rulebook. Pretty similar to turbos, too. Some guys ran turbo Top Fuel cars...  ...but the same thing happened. Trap speeds were up, and that was plenty dangerous. So it's kind of lame both were banned, but at least they were banned for a good reason. e- I posted that Hemi rail in here before, and I still maintain that running a twin turbo 426 Hemi in like 1970 with mechanical fuel injection and no computer control is some type of literal wizardry.  A warlock built that.
