32. ENGINE DISPLACEMENT/COMPRESSION LIMIT

Only "small block" V-8 engines with a minimum of 350 cubic inch displacement will be allowed. To clarify the identification of a "small block" engine, listed below are the basic engines designated and approved as "small block" engines. Any engine NOT listed will be designated as a large block engine and will NOT be permitted, regardless of the engine size.

Maximum engine displacement as follows:

1. GENERAL MOTORS 350 CU. INCHES

2. FORD 351 CU. INCHES

3. MOPAR, AMERICAN MOTORS 360 CU. INCHES

Engine displacement may be increased by boring. Formula for determining cubic inch displacement: Bore x Bore x .7854 x Stroke equals cubic inch displacement of each cylinder. The cubic inch displacement of each cylinder added together will determine the total cubic inch displacement of the engine.

COMPRESSION LIMIT: The maximum compression limit allowed shall be 11.0 to 1 on any cylinder. When calculating the compression ratio, an allowance of one (1) cubic centimeter will be added to the volume for the area around the top of the piston down to the top of the piston ring that will be sealed with grease. * The procedure for checking compression is as follows: Bore x Bore X .7854 x Stroke equals the Cylinder Volume of each cylinder at Bottom Dead Center (bdc) in cubic centimeters. The cylinder head pour volume minus(-) the known volume of the cylinder head plate plus (+) head gasket volume plus (+) 1.00 cc for sealing piston ring plus (+) the cylinder block volume minus(-) the known volume of the block plate equals(=) chamber volume. (Compression ratio = Cylinder Volume plus (+) Chamber Volume)
