BITD 7200 Engine Rule Question?

[Samco Fab]

I was interested in building a truck for the 7200 BITD Class (mini TT ). I looked at the rules and nothing seems to mention a limit on displacement for the 6 cylinder, and nothing states if it has to be a V6. I would guess that even if there is not currently a displacement limitation, there will be at some time, where will that limit be?? I would say somewhere around a 5 liter limitation would be good, eventually someone will build some monster displacement with 39" tires and run for the overall...

I was interested in using an inline 6, but did not want to commit to an engine before making sure.

I answered my own question by calling BITD

Yes you can run an inline 6 cylinder, and nobody has yet asked for a displacement limitation, so the 6 PACK 1000 cubic inch mountain motor is in the works

What about a stroked 292 with injection?

I would bet a 4.5 busch motor is as big a motor necessary for an OA in the mini TT class or the motor out of lil mac before it was destroked.

According to Cory Weyer, Ford has the new 4v head out in their v6 and with no displacement limit this motor could see 5 plus liters and over 600 HP. Get ready for some SERIOUS contentions for the OA in the BiTD 7200 class!

Heads for which block? I know you can get 318 C.I. and WAY over 600 hp out of the 4.5L SVO Busch engines now. A set of 4V heads would be interesting depending on what block they match to. I have not heard any valve, cam or displacement rules for the class, so it could get wild in a hurry.

It's already possible to have similar HP/LB ratio of the trophy trucks in the class, so opening up the rules to allow 125" wb, 85" width, NO frame rails, and free-willy motor placement should make them better by a ton once some guys get them sorted out. Roeseler got 11th overall at parker last year in a framed 7200 truck. How long 'til someone overalls with the new Mini Trick Truck specs?

Any information onthe lil mac motor avaliable? Is it the same engine that is in the truck for sale in the classifieds? ET motorsports?

Oh and I'm sorry but I guess its a Cosworth bolt on deal, no actual factory engine package as of yet?
