Your vast knowledge is very impressive.

Burty, take your tach of the 4 cylinder setting and put it on V-8 so you can what you are really turning.

So are you saying you are putting a $2,500 crank in a $100 40+ year old block or are you putting that short stroke 2 7/8th's into a $2,000 Dart or World products block??

What kind of valvetrain are you running ?

come to think of it which tach goes up to and past 18000 rpm anyway ?

OK guys...my gut hurts...cool your jets or something... we(Burty and I) were just pokin fun here! 12,000...no 18,000...

Straight jackets for everyone!!!!!!

UMMM, the old iron head nick named the" turbo head" you are refering to is the predecessor to the Bow Tie head we have now.
You story keeps getting better.
Now where did I put my BS spray at????

Scooter,

I think perhaps your guy with the 265inch motor is overstating a bit. If not I'm real impressed that he got enough airflow past a set of worked over double hump heads to let a motor turn up past 9000, never mind 12,000rpm. The strain on the valvetrain alone goes up pretty much goes up like a lunar rocket as rpms head north of say 8000. Granted, crotch rocket two stroke race bikes wind up well past 15,000(scary thought)...but they are a whole different beast!
I think I can safely say that all of us are curious enough to hear some actual specs of this mystifying 265 motor. If you get a chance...see if you can get the owner of this motor to give you the full specs on his motor...I mean everything! That way the truly talented, experienced, and wise motorheads here(and FYI...I do NOT consider myself worthy of that list) on this forum can evaluate the motor specs and make up their own mind as to what it's really capable of turning up to! Seems fair. My guess is that it really turns up to 8000 or so and he put a real fancy tach in it and tells people it goes 12,000. Come to think of it, where do you even find a tach for a V8 that will read to 12,000rpm? HMMM....

George
