My first attempt at a recreation - constructive criticism always welcome!
One of the greatest engines ever built, according to some - the 1971 Ford Boss 351C.
I did my best to try to match the power and torque figures to what I've found online for specs. I relied on this page primarily:
http://www.boss351registry.com/Engine_S ... ations.htmAs you can see, I'm off by 1 ft-lb and 1hp on each, but the RPM figures are close. I played around with every setting possible while keeping some of the other variables constant, such as bore and stroke size, etc. I found I had to use the quality sliders to achieve these results - if anyone is able to improve upon this, I welcome the efforts!
For some of the factors, such as materials and other measurements, I tried to pick the closest alternative. For example, the exhaust diameter is listed at 1.7145 on the site above - 1.75" is the closest I could get.
I think it's a reasonable reproduction of a classic, down to the year of manufacture. My next project is to recreate the engine I had in my favorite F150 many years ago - the trusty 300ci straight-six.
