Keith Dorton and Automotive Specialists is one of the most innovative engine builders on the planet. To gain an edge land speed racing at the Bonneville Salt Flats he's come up with an innovative V6 engine based on a NASCAR Chevrolet SB2 race engine. Here, he shows us all the tricks on how he made it work.

Ok they are nice numbers and its a cool idea, but i'm a bit confused when he says he couldnt get the valve area out of an existing v8 and that exhisting v6's vibrate more than this thing. Also whats this about compression? You would think an engine builder would be able to have exactly whatever compression he wants out of any platform Methinks he just decided a nascar engine already has everything done to it and was the easiest option for this application just to blank off two cylinders. Which is a cool idea but he doesnt have to bullshit about it lol.

@@m.b.82 So the devil's in the details. You need valve reliefs to not compromise cam timing and NASCAR heads have about the smallest practical combustion chamber in the head for something that flows. So that's about what you can get without going to a clean sheet of paper purpose built 4 valve per cylinder sorta thing.

M. B. The comment about vibrations of existing v6’s has to do with the degrees of separation between ignition of each cylinder in a v8 vs a v6 (a v8 has a cylinder firing every 45 degrees instead of every 60 degrees), even though they eliminated two cylinders they kept the same crank spacing of a v8 and used counterweights to balance the shaft. Through the unique setup they got the smooth running of a v8 which is nicer on other drivetrain components and the benefits of extra stroke of the v6 while staying within the max displacement rules for the class they are running. They chose the nascar engine because it’s highly developed and can get great power at high rpm reliably which saves them enough time and money on development. Ironically the fact that they didn’t change the firing order and crankshaft spacing is also why it sounds a bit like a Harley motor and a V8 got mashed together!

No he isn't. This build, makes no sense. His entire reasoning is flawed by the fact that, since the late 1980, there are engines that have extremely short stroke and upwards of 13 to 1 compression. I mean road going bikes combine sub 50mm strokes and up to 14.5 to 1 compression. (Yes I know Harleys do not but I'm referring to bikes actual modern engines not 1930s fossils)

I mean 160 on the seat and 600 over the nose is nothing for a 270 @0.050" and 0.800" lift cam! Not to mention the 1/2" thick wall pushrods (I know pushrod weight is supposedly inconsequential but it has to add SOME weight/rpm loss to the valvetrain) Amazing stuff. SB2 & 2.2 is just so freaking cool! Now show us some R07 stuff Keith and Randy!!

I cut my eye teeth building SBC; you can gauge my thoughts about this video by how many times I said, "Jesus Christ!", while watching. The count? I lost track, (didn't want to take my shoes off! LOL) I was fortunate enough to have a drag racing mentor when I was in my teens. He'd built a national record holding car in the early '60's. The first thing he taught me was block and head prep, pre porting & blueprinting. I looked at this sweet SB, knowing just how many hours it takes to make one look like that. Had to laugh, though, the builder didn't want to give up the cam specs, but I do believe you gave enough info talking about the valve train, a guy could back calc the lift, if not the duration.... ooops... LOL Very impressive V-6, starting with a very impressive V8. Never paid much attention to Nascar, but I will spend some time learning about these SB2's, after watching this.

Maybe not enough to really matter but it could possibly make a noticeable difference too. For being sorted out on the dyno that just struck me as odd. I understand the dyno headers aspect. I worked for one of the most winning and well respected NHRA Comp & Super Comp engine builders in the business. The amount of dyno headers they had was sight to see. And the smallest things were taken in consideration for max dyno performance. Again the V8 header on a V6 being strange to me.

So as you would know there are alot off other tests that you can do on the dyno before you even look at the headers and exhaust. But we may never know they could of built a trick set of headers with only the six pipes and the v8 set were better. Cool build though.

Ran an experimental 14 to 1 Buick V6 in my dirt modified. Ran well but was beat coming off the corners. Ran it in 10 races and finished as high a 5th. Oh, this was back in the late 80's. Also had a Buick v6 in a IMSA bodied Monza street car.

The weight isn't going to be to hard to work out it would be the same as the bob weight used when balancing the engine 50% of the reciprocating mass and 100% of the rotating mass. Not a big secret it is how any crossplane V8 crankshaft is balanced.

This is cool. I’m very familiar with that engine the sb2. I worked for Jimmmy Means for about 10 years building engines mostly and tuning. I have been through many Hendrick sb2 that he has bought off them. We would get those and depending on the history we just did rings and bearings. A basic freshening up and then dyno them. That’s my favorite part. Feeling the concrete vibrating under your feet. The dyno cell has 2 Freightliner mufflers on it since the shop is in the city limits. My house is 2.5 miles away and I can hear the dyno run. Listening from my house I can usually tell if it’s good out of the box or it’s giving trouble. If I’m not busy I’ll call him up and ask if he needs a hand bc it sounds like it’s being a hand full. It’s always fun to go hang out and mess with those engines. Very cool what’s been done with this engine.

My wish of all time is to have a one of a kind engine in my daily driver('12 Mustang GT) and for no one to know what i have. Not talking about power adders or the like. But this configuration hits a few notes on what I've envisioned.

@Dave Micolichek , It was a bit of Banter. Like I think your comment about the caps lock (yelling) was intended to be. So don't take things so seriously Man. No need to get all bent out of shape about it. There are other things going on that are more important. It was a Joke and you got butthurt. Take it easy.

Love this story. I' watching a Jeremy Hacking run a V6 Syclone 1/4 mile at 185 mph and 7.59 sec. single turbo. I have always had a thing for 6 cylinder engines. NASCAR technology would be so amazing to learn. I once saw 1960's GM V6 Big Block it was made for the half ton. Its Just awesome what is Possible.
