Recon Xtreme crate engine 2001 2V

Recon Xtreme crate engine dyno

I work for Keystone auto and I just sold this kid a Recon "Xtreme" crate engine for an 01 GT. It includes a dyno sheet, and according to Recon, at the crank it put out 262 hp, but torque was 385ft/lbs. Supposedly, this is a .040 over rebuild with new valves, springs, cams, etc... So this to me seems a bit odd...

 

[DBMSTNG]

you can't bore a mod motor .040 over.

I've never heard of recon? And you can only go .020 over bore on the 4.6 2V (making it a 302 roughly). Someone pulled a fast one on your boy.

Heh... it was $3500 too. He wanted a "crate 4.6", so I found him one. Nonetheless, the dyno sheet says 385ft/lbs, so it's kind of surprising.

No. .020 over is about 283.

I'm suprised some of you have never heard of Recon before. Here's the website...

mod max's website says their stroker kit .020 over makes it come out to 302.

That cuz it'a a stroker, your getting the cubes from the crank not the bore. .020 over is only worth about 3 cubes.

100% correct! the cubes do NOT come from boring at all people. The increased cubes come from stroking.

some people need engine building 101 again

That's why I'm glad I started cruising these boards. 1000's of brains are better than "what this one guy said".

 

[FastRedPonyCar]

that'll be fall of next year when I rebuild the bottom end and slap a KB on it.

I wish you could get 21 cubes from a .20 overbore.

So my .60 overbore in my coronet equals 440+63= 503 cubic inch mopar wedge. WOW I rock.

You forgot your stickers...they add up as welll

 

[new22003]

I only have 6 stickers I can put on, I do need more. I wish they made carbon fiber pieces for a 69 dodge. Then the wedge could neva lose.

 

[snowb07]

let us know if he likes the new engine and if he gets it dynoed see if you cen get the two dyno sheets and see if they are even close,,

Ha, I don't think they'll work out. I had to call Recon about his engine and I asked them what was up with the torque being up, and he says "Oh, that's just something the dyno guys puts on the sheet."

 

[fr96ss]

go to recon's site there guarantee sucks ass.
