Heard his name quite a few times when a big power engine build has been done
Anyone know about him what he does or a contact
Thanks

Mark Shead at MAD builds very reliable big power engines.

Also Harvey Gibbs.

Pick a TUNER and go with their ideas. Also you will get some type of guarantee. Cossie engines for big power is not cheap...

Do it once do it right.

ajamesc

I presume his car is an m.a.d car anyway. The dyno graph is on the m.a.d Facebook page. Just over 700bhp

Caddyshack

Yes, Harvey built my engine. 2.2 was Ł26k+ I believe and did 710 or 730 Bhp.

Julian Godfrey is also another well respected builder

Caddyshack

Julian does a lot of Rally Cross engines doesn’t he?

ajamesc

Oppliger looks to do some pretty impressive builds if someone fancies a little holiday lol. He has a very impressive workshop space and looks to have a huge parts supply

Julian Builds lots of engines including ken blocks rally engines for his Escort race engines big mis conception that he only does Rally X engines

Caddyshack

I said lots of, not ONLY. Wind it in big boy

What are you planning Tim?

fuzzy

derek hastings at ace performance and derek palmer at pro motorsport build shit engines. it wont effect you were you are but I thought id say anyway

timsrs

Well I’ve done the supra diff conversion with 6 deg beam
So starting to get to the engine
TBH I’m more after a reliable engine for a road car
Been told a good 400 bhp is good for a road car but I’m thinking more close to 500
It’s more about the engine being strong and reliable than mad power
I’ve got a 200 block which I’ve had for years
One bore had a mark in that I don’t think will hone out
So thinking liners, stud kit etc
I’m confident when it comes to engine building but it’s all the tricks a specialist would know to get the best from it

timsrs

So has no one heard of Dave Pritchard

Got nothing in my messages mate

turbotrev

Lol, I told you mate, need to take them blinkers off ha ha

Cheers Paul

Caddyshack

I think Mark recently mapped yours well over 700 on your recent build, didn’t he?

What’s your thoughts on the Ally block, I see you have gone 200 block now?

Caddyshack

What head and cams did you go with to make the most recent power?

timsrs

Dave now I got a contact I’ll call you next week and we can talk further
Basics I’m looking for a strong reliable 500bhp engine

Marks inlet cam a bd14 ex marks head ports

Mark Shead

ajamesc

How does yours feel on the road. I’m most likely going to follow the 9180 route but have been chatting with mark about maybe dropping a turbo size as 600-650 is probably doable on a smaller turbo

Caddyshack

Right spec engine can do that on 7670, (630 iirc) The 9180 is needed to go for the bonkers over 700.

turbotrev

Why won’t I like the answer??

Cheers Paul

I feels very good mate just had mark map my mates with a 8374 on making 657bhp at 2.4 bar and 679.8bhp at 2.6 bar

ajamesc

Probably the car we was talking about then

Simon Johnson

Dave is good chap !

I miss my cossie but its an expensive game these days and now have an Evo X as I am too old to get oily these days.
Will always be a Ford enthusiast though !
