Re: Enquiry Dan Mathers

Just out of curiosity what size are these poly engines (motors are electrical devices) being built? How much torque is made and what do the heads flow when ported? Can you get an off the shelf roller cam or is that a custom deal? There are a lot of poly engines in my area (southern ga.) if anyone is in need of one.

Dan: several of us have done some really neat things with the poly motors. Yes it's not a main stream package but you will be very happy with the poly once you have the car running. They are amazing! Mine pulled like a big block even with a decent sized cam in it and no headers. If there is any way you can make headers I would recommend it that is a real hold up area in my opinion

Then get a big cam and loose converter if running a auto tran. People will be stunned at what that set up will do

Dan,

Just a quick overview on the Poly...Rods down are the same parts as an LA 318/340 (rods, crank, bearings, oil pump). Front of the engine is the same as well (timing chain, timing cover, harmonic balancer, water pump). One note is that the water pump must be 67? and earlier as the water outlet is on the drivers side...unless you have a later radiator. Distributor and drive shaft are also the same.

Pistons, cam, heads, and valve gear are the different parts. Do plenty of research before you buy your parts, and make sure your machinist/builder has a great rep with lots of experience. He may not be the cheapest, but you get what you pay for.

I'm at the tail end of my build and will be happy to answer questions and share info with you if you like. Just email me.

No books although if you tag up with the 1962etc group in the cc column
there is a ton of wisdom and experience there which we glean from
regularly... Ron Ceridono also noted has written an excellent book on the
GEN I Hemi which has a substantial section on the Poly... He has also done
an excellent two page spread in the latest issue of Street Rodder... Bruce
Toth and I are working on our own resource guide pages but that's the least
of our focus right now... We're way to busy developing the newest technology
parts programs... Stay connected with all these folks and you'll have a Hemi
spankin' Poly...

Thanks Roland for your quick response. I will get with the motor builder and
we'll come up with a plan then I'll start getting items ordered.
Do you have a parts book of some type for this motor?

Thank you
Dan

best way to build my car. For some reason that just kind of made me sick to
