Alcohol 406 SBC
Hi gang, I'm looking into building my first alcohol motor, a 406 SBC
Can you recommend a good book (or books) about alcohol motors? I want to run without a cooling system. Will a short fill and plug the deck be ok? Or will I need to fill the whole block? Weight is a factor... Also, I want to put this motor on nitrous. Can I just run N2O with more alcohol or do I need to shoot some gasoline in with the nitrous? TIA

Pick a compression ratio and cam combo that keeps you above 200psi. cranking compression.
If it's a stock block I would fill it to the bottom of the waterpump holes, deck plus should give it more strength, ??, i've never run em. You will need a gas Nitrous system for an alcohol motor. Maybe David will chime in on cam and comp.

That would be my thoughts, based on past exp. with N.O.S. and former Top Gun companys.
I would contact a tec rep. for the system you choose and see what they say before buying alot of stuff you don't need.
